Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Ground Sausage I like it spicy but this is up to you.
  • 16 oz Cauliflower Rice I just use a large head. See post if you are buying pre-riced cauliflower.
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Bell Pepper Finely chopped ( I use frozen)
  • 1 Cup Celery Finley chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • 2 tsp Blackened Seasoning Or to taste. Recipe to make your own posted below this recipe.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Or to taste
  • 1/2 cup Green onion Finely chopped and to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes *Optional and to taste.
  • Fresh parsley *Optional and to taste
  • 1 tsp Allulose (Optional, see post) Adds the "restaurant" taste to the dish. See post for info about this addition.

Instructions

To make your own riced cauliflower ~ Skip if you are buying refrigerated or frozen.

  • Chop cauliflower head into reasonable sized pieces.
  • Pulse in short bursts in food processor or blender until it is "rice sized". DON'T PUREE
  • It should look something like this.

Dirty Cajun Rice

  • Brown the sausage in a large frying pan or wok.
  • Add Bell Pepper and Celery to the sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes until the veggies are cooked but still a bit crunchy and bright in color.
  • Add cauliflower and all seasonings except garnish (Parsley) and cook for 4-5 minutes until hot. Don't overcook the cauliflower or it won't have the "rice" texture. It's a personal choice as to how soft you want it.
  • Turn off heat and stir in green onion.
  • Garnish with additional green onion, parsley and hot sauce as desired.
