This recipe came about becuase I cannot tolerate rice very well however I love rice! So when I read about using cauliflower in place of rice I rejoiced and got to work!
Ridiculously Radical Red Rice
1 batch of cauli rice
1/2 onion minced
3-5 cloves garlic minced
2 stalks celery minced (the leafy greens are fine too)
1 jar or 2 roasted red peppers chopped
Water from the jar of peppers (or liquid of your choice)
6oz tomato paste
2T Olive oil
Sea salt
Theses seasonings are optional based on taste. However I think they make it wonderful!
Original version
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
Alternate version
1 t cinnimon
1t nutmeg
1tablespoon habanero powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
1. Heat oil and sautée onions and celery, S&P
cook until onions are translucent.
2. Add cauliflower and cook 5-7 mins stirring regularly.
3. Add garlic, red peppers and tomato paste, stir well
4. Add pepper water little by little until it looks saucy but not soupy.
Now add seasonings
5. Cover and let cook on low for about 10mins.
If you want to make this a complete meal toss in some browned meat or beans. You could also add some chopped sun dried tomatoes. It's really tasty!
This dish is great with many types of food. Great for BBQ's, awesome with Mexican flavors, works well with middle eastern flavors too.
You can serve it hot or cold, and it would probably freeze fine too - but there's never enough leftover to freeze!
