Ingredients

1/2 large cucumber
1/2 small zucchini
1 large carrot
3.5 ounces crinkly cabbage
10 ounces ground beef
2 eggs, scrambled
16 ounces cauliflower (or 3 cups cauliflower rice, fresh or frozen, or cooked short grain rice)
1/3 cup sesame seeds (omit for AIP)
1/3 cup butter (or either olive or coconut oil)
3 tablespoons tamari
hot red pepper sauce (omit for AIP)
fat (for sauteing)

Instructions

Grate vegetables into a large bowl.
In a little fat, brown the ground meat in a frying pan over medium high heat and add to bowl.
Scramble eggs in a pan with a little coconut oil or butter.
Process the cauliflower through a food processor until rice sized. Add a little fat into the frying pan and add cauliflower and a bit of water and saute.
The cauliflower should be cooked and soft but still with some bite, not mushy. (Omit this step if using rice.)
Add cauliflower (or rice) to large bowl.
Pour sesame seeds onto a clean dry pan and shake to distribute the seeds. Heat at medium heat, occasionally shaking to prevent burning. When the seeds are brown and fragrant, add to the large bowl.
Pour oil or let butter melt on top of the hot ingredients. Pour over tamari and mix well.
Serve and add hot sauce to individual bowls. Enjoy!

Notes

Vegetable Options: Besides the vegetables listed in the recipe, I've also used chopped lettuce, radish, and bean sprouts.
Meat Alternatives: The meat can be substituted with a fried egg or two per person for a vegetarian version. Any ground meat will work, I used beef but pork or even chicken will fit.
Soy Alternative: If you need to be soy free, feel free to substitute coconut aminos + salt for the tamari. The best fat to use is butter, for that nutty flavour, however if you can't eat dairy, olive oil or baking coconut oil will do.
