Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 yellow onion (chopped)
• 1 pound ground beef (lean)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup dried apricots (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 apple (cored and grated)
• 1 head cauliflower (riced)
• 0.5 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in minced garlic, curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add chopped dried apricots, apple cider vinegar, and grated apple to the beef mixture. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apple softens slightly and flavors meld.
5. While beef mixture cooks, combine riced cauliflower, chicken broth, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or cook in a pot on the stovetop, until tender. Fluff with a fork.
6. Serve the curried beef mixture over the turmeric cauliflower rice.

Notes

To speed up the cauliflower rice, you can buy pre-riced cauliflower. This dish stores and reheats well, making it excellent for meal prepping.
