Quickie Recipe: Cajun-y Sausage, Beans & Cauliflower Rice
So, I’ll try to make these more formal in the future, but since I cooked this in a serving size that served as an entree for one, and because changing the amounts of the ingredients here and there don’t matter much, the ingredient amounts will be a little loose.
Ingredients
For the “Rice”:
- head of cauliflower
- salt & pepper to taste
“Dry” side:
- 1/2 turkey polish kielbasa
- 1 jalepeno
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 small onion
“Wet” side:
- 1/2 can of black beans
- 1/2 can of diced tomatoes
- cajun seasoning
- red pepper flakes
Instructions
I split the ingredients up because you actually prepare 3 the set of ingredients separately, and then mix them all at the end.
Cauliflower Rice
Rinse the head of cauliflower, cut off the stem and green bits. Run the entire head of cauliflower through a cheese grater to create a rice-like consistency. Place grated cauliflower in a microwave safe container. Salt & pepper the grated cauliflower. Cover container so that it can still breath a bit. Start by microwaving 3-4 minutes. If it is at a rice-like texture let it sit, if not, continue cooking 1 minute at a time until it is cooked to your satisfaction.
Dry Side
Take dry side ingredients, chop them all up to bite-size morsel and dump them in a skillet on medium/medium-high heat. Cook until veggies begin to soften and onion start to take on a little color.
Wet Side
Put beans and tomatoes in a small sauce pan on low heat, just enough to heat up ingredients mix in cajun seasoning and red pepper flakes to taste.
Putting it all together
Once all 3 parts are heated/cooked, mix everything in together. Eat and Enjoy.
Clearly I need to work on my food photo skills. In fact, showing you this will probably prevent you from cooking it, but I swear it tastes pretty awesome. Here’s some idea of what mine looked like:
