- 13
- Serves:
-
3-4
ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 1⁄2 lbs beef stew meat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 onion, diced
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
directions
- Pull off the green leaves surrounding the cauliflower. Then cut the bottom off & break the cauliflower into large pieces. Rinse & then place in a bowl to be used later.
- Heat the olive oil in either a sauce pan or pressure cooker. Cook the beef in the oil until all the sides are brown.
- Add enough water in the pot to cover the beef. At this point put everything into the pot except the cauliflower and cover with a lid. If using a sauce pan simmer the beef for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you are using a pressure cooker, let the beef cook for 15 minutes (after the cooker begins to hiss).
- Dip the cauliflower into the sauce to cover all the sides. Once that is done leave it in the pot & recover with a lid. Simmer for another 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is done. If using a pressure cooker, cover & cook for additional 5-7 minutes (after the cooker begins to hiss).

I thought this was pretty good. although I did it the easy way - doubled all the ingredients, except the cauliflower, threw it in a crock pot, filled pot with water, and cooked on low 6 hours. made a nice soup/stew. I'll make it again. thanks for the recipe. -
This was very good. The only thing that I didn't like is that the gravy was so watery and I didn't like eating it with rice. Maybe I'll thicken the gravy next time, and/or eat it with bread or mashed potatoes. -
I loved this recipe. I used our pressure cooker. The only thing I did differently was add some black Moroccan olives along with the cauliflower. It was very well received. I will make this again.

Changed it a lot so not sure I'm allowed to rate it but I loved it and this is what I did. Left out parsley, bouillon cube and used 2 T curry instead of other spices. Used homemade smoked chicken stock instead of water. Served with Saffron Rice. Wonderful. -
Very Nice. I read the reviews and decided to use this recipe as a base. I use lamb stew meat; oxtail; and beef stew meat. I followed the recipe and added some Indian curry as suggested by another review. Added a little more tomato paste and used a little flour mixed in water to thicken gravy. Also used beef stock instead of that beef cube stuff which is full of MSG. Recipe Oh yeah and Greek olives are very tasty in it. I will definitely try this again. I don't like cauliflower but it was great!

We made this and it was delicious. We like a lot of flavor, so I upped the amount of tomato paste 1 Tbsp as well as increased the cumin and ginger. Not as authentic, but I added some curry powder as we really like it. I also used Cilantro instead of parsley b/c that's all I had and it was really good as well. In a pressure cooker it came out perfect with a nice sauce...not watery at all.
