Method

  1. Break the cauliflower into florets and cook in salted water for 6–7 minutes until just tender. Cook the rice in one and a half times its volume of salted water for about 12 minutes.

  2. Cook the chopped onion in the oil for 5 minutes, add the mince and brown it for 6–8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and paprika and season.

  3. Heat the oven to 190 °C. Mix the soured cream with the egg and half the cheese.

  4. Layer half the cauliflower, the rice, the beef and the rest of the cauliflower in a baking dish, spreading a little of the soured cream mixture between the layers. Finish with the rest of the soured cream and cheese.

  5. Bake for 25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
