Spanish Cauliflower Rice Keto Vegan Recipes

KETO CAULIFLOWER SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• Put cauliflower rice in a microwaveable bowl. Add about 2 tablespoons water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle.
• Lay a thin dish towel on a flat surface. Add 1/2 of the cauliflower. Hold the 4 corners of the towel together to wrap up the cauliflower completely. Twist the towel and squeeze hard to drain off as much water as possible. Remove cauliflower and repeat with the other half.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Add cauliflower, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and white pepper. Saute, stirring constantly, until cauliflower is browned and liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add salsa. Cook and stir until salsa is mostly reduced, 8 to 10 minutes more.

SPANISH CAULIFLOWER RICE {KETO + VEGAN}

Steps:

• FOR FRESH CAULIFLOWER (skip to step 2 if using frozen cauliflower): Divide the cauliflower florets into two batches. Using a food processor or high-speed blender, "rice" the cauliflower by pulsing it several times (only pulse until all the florets are evenly rice-sized). You may need to scrape down the sides after a few pulses. Pour the rice into a bowl and repeat with the second batch.
• Heat the oil over medium in a large skillet. Add the diced onion and cook it for 3-4 minutes to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute. Pour the riced cauliflower into the skillet and mix it in with the garlic/onion. Sauté the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Add 1/3 cup of broth (if using frozen cauliflower rice, start with only about 1/8 cup of broth since frozen will release more moisture). Stir in the tomato paste, salt, lime juice, cumin, and red chili powder and continue to cook for another five minutes. If it looks on the dry side and could use more broth, add the remainder (about 1/2 cup total).
• Add the green chiles to the mixture. Taste and adjust the flavor, adding more red chili powder or chiles for spiciness, cumin for smokiness, or salt.
• Increase the stovetop temperature to medium-high and cook off the moisture, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes (only about 5 more minutes if you're using frozen cauliflower). You'll know it's done when the cauliflower softens and the mixture is no longer mushy from the liquid.
• Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.
