1 serving (medium) of Cauliflower stew with ground beef (200 g) has 170 calories. That works out to 85 calories per 100 g. It contains 13 g of carbs, 12.4 g of protein, 8 g of fat and 4.6 g of fiber.

Cauliflower stew with ground beef is a home-style Turkish dish of cauliflower florets simmered with minced beef, usually with onion and tomato or tomato paste. Recipes vary from kitchen to kitchen, but the aim is tender cauliflower in a lightly savory, often reddish broth rather than a thick sauce.
It is served hot as a main course, commonly with rice, bread or plain yogurt alongside. The florets become soft while the browned beef adds a hearty, savory contrast. It offers protein and fibre, with cauliflower keeping the dish relatively low in carbohydrates; per 100 g, it has 6.2 g of protein. For a lighter meal, use a modest amount of beef and oil, and add a crisp salad or yogurt rather than a large serving of rice.

Cauliflower stew with ground beef is made by browning the beef with onion, stirring in tomato paste or tomatoes, then adding cauliflower and broth or water. Simmer gently until the florets are tender but still hold their shape; avoid frequent stirring.
Yes, frozen cauliflower works in cauliflower stew with ground beef, and it can go straight into the pot without thawing. Add it later than the beef and sauce, since frozen florets tend to soften faster and may release extra water.
Keep cauliflower firm in cauliflower stew with ground beef by cutting it into large florets and simmering gently rather than boiling hard. Add it after the beef sauce is ready, and stop cooking as soon as a fork passes through without the florets falling apart.
Lean or medium-fat ground beef both work well in cauliflower stew with ground beef. Lean beef gives a lighter broth, while a little more fat adds richness; drain excess rendered fat before adding the tomato and liquid if the pot looks greasy.
Cauliflower stew with ground beef pairs well with crusty bread, rice, or a simple green salad. For a lower-carbohydrate meal, serve it with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables; a spoonful of plain yogurt also balances the tomato-rich broth.
Cauliflower stew with ground beef keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until it is steaming hot, to help the cauliflower retain its texture.
Yes, cauliflower stew with ground beef can be frozen, although the cauliflower may turn softer after thawing. Freeze it in airtight, meal-sized containers, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat gently on the stove rather than boiling it vigorously.
Yes, cauliflower stew with ground beef can be made in a slow cooker, but add the cauliflower toward the end so it does not become overly soft. Brown the ground beef first for better flavor, then cook it with the sauce before adding the florets.
Yes, cauliflower stew with ground beef can be made without tomato. Use broth, onion, garlic, and herbs for a savory version, and add enough liquid to cook the florets gently; the result will have a lighter, less tangy broth.
Cauliflower stew with ground beef is usually served as a stew: the florets and beef are the main part, with only enough broth to keep the dish moist. Add extra stock if you prefer a more soup-like bowl.
