Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups Cauliflower Florets
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic (chopped)
  • 1 Jalapeno (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Carrots (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Half and Half
  • 1 cup Cheddar (grated)

Instructions
 

  • Add all the cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse a few times till the cauliflower resembles small bits like rice.
  • Heat oil in a large pan and add garlic, jalapenos, and carrots. Sauté for 1-2 minutes on high heat, then add the riced cauliflower, oregano, paprika, and salt. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the cauliflower is soft but not mushy.
  • Take a cup of this cauliflower mixture (reserve the rest) and blend with half and half. Add a splash of water or stock if needed to loosen the mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F.
  • Mix together the reserved cauliflower mixture, the cauliflower puree, broccoli, and cheddar, and transfer to a baking pan.
  • Top with grated mozzarella and jalapeno slices, if using, and bake for 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
