Preparation
Cook the rice
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Roast the cauliflower
- Meanwhile, on a lined sheet pan, toss the cauliflower (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 18 to 20 min., until lightly browned and tender.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and small-dice the onion.
- Grate the mushroom.
Start the keema
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the onion and mushroom. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to soften.
- Add the beef*; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Finish the keema
- To the pan, add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.
- Add the peas and ½ cup water (double for 4 portions).
- Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 3 to 4 min., until the sauce has thickened.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your plates.
- Top with the cauliflower and keema. Bon appétit!
