Cauliflower Stew/Maraka'd Karnabeet

Serves about 6










​
Ingredients
1 head Cauliflower
1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 pound stew meat
1 6 oz can tomato paste
2 tablespoons oil
​1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baharat
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 red pepper (optional)
5 cups water

• Cut meat in small cubes. Prepare meat by sauteing with a little oil or boiling until tender. I like to use my Instant Pot electric pressure cooker for this.  I added the meat with 1/4 cup of water and chose meat/stew option for 20 minutes.
• Remove stem of cauliflower and cut the florets in bite size pieces.
• Heat one tablespoon of oil in a pot over medium heat. 
• Add onions and garlic and saute until onions are soft and translucent. 
• Remove the onions and garlic and set aside.
• In the same pot, add the other tablespoon of oil and add the cauliflower florets. 
• Stir every few minutes until the cauliflower is browned all around.
• Remove cauliflower from pot and set aside.
• Add the water and tomato paste to pot and stir or whisk until the tomato paste has melted down.
• Add the cauliflower, onions and garlic, meat, salt, and spices to pot and stir.
• Bring to a boil and then turn burner down to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes  or until cauliflower is tender.
• Add more salt and spices if you prefer.
• Serve over rice.
