This is a delicious low-carb alternative to cottage pie. I got the idea for the mashed cauliflower off an atkins discussion board.

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green peppers or 1 medium red pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons mixed herbs
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and pepper
1 lb raw cauliflower
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180 Celcius.
2. Fry the onions, green peppers and zucchini in olive oil, on medium heat, until soft.
3. Add the ground beef and stir until red colour disappears.
4. Add the worcester sauce, mixed herbs, nutmeg, salt and pepper and reduce heat to simmer.
5. Place cauliflower in microwave dish and cook on high for 10 minutes, until very soft.
6. Add sour cream and butter to cauliflower and use masher or food processor to mash.
7. Place ground beef mixture in casserole dish and spread mashed cauliflower over the top.
8. Scrape the top of the mash lightly with a fork to make ridges.
9. Cook in oven for 20- 30 minutes, until mash starts to brown.
