Cauliflower Hash {Low Carb/Low Sugar}


Ingredients:


1 tablespoons safflower oil

1 small head cauliflower, chopped into small pieces
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoons Kefir Lemonade
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley leaves (for garnish)
Fried eggs, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the cauliflower and onion in an even layer and let it cook without stirring until it takes on a little color on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Give it a stir, then add the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and water. Cover the skillet and cook until the cauliflower is fork-tender but not mushy, and has taken on a golden color, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Turn the heat down to low, add the garlic, and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Stir in the lemon juice and cook until evaporated, about 30 seconds.

Serve with the parsley sprinkled on top, and add a fried egg if you like.
