LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS MEAL!
In this one-pan Paleo-Whole30-Keto friendly meal, we serve paprika-spiced pork meatballs with a cauliflower “rice,” dressed up with dried figs and watercress. You may be able to find ‘riced’ cauliflower at your local grocery store. It has become very popular. If not, you can chop your own with a knife, or drop florets in a food processor and give it a whirl!

This is totally something I would eat! Those meatballs are perfect, and I definitely would be adding the figs!
