Cauliflower rice - This makes enough for Wednesday’s dinner. Chop off florets. Pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Place cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes, stirring midway through. Mix in ghee while cauliflower bits are still hot, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve half for Wednesday's dinner. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Garlic / Onions / Peppers - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then garlic, onions, peppers, paprika, and chili powder to heated oil with a dash of salt. Saute until onions and peppers start to soften, ~3 minutes.
Next add in tomatoes, coconut milk, stock, and salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for ~5 minutes.
Fold in fish and simmer for another 5 minutes. Move pot off of heat. Finish with lemon juice and season to taste with salt, pepper, or more spices. You can spoon cauliflower rice into stew or spoon the stew over cauliflower rice - your choice! (Remember to save half the cauliflower rice for Wednesday's dinner)
