Creole "Rice"
This dish makes amazing leftovers! I made it the night ahead of time and the flavors melded together, making an awesome tasting dish.
4 cups cauliflower, into "rice"
2 links fresh Italian sausage
2 TBS butter
1 cup chopped onion
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 TBS lemon juice
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp dried thyme
1 1/4 tsp salt, divided
1 cup diced fully cooked ham
1 cup frozen cooked small shrimp, thawed
Place cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until small pieces of "rice." In a large skillet, cook sausages. Remove sausages, reserving drippings. When cool enough to handle, cut sausages in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-in. pieces; set aside. Saute onion, garlic, cauliflower "rice" and peppers in drippings until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the next eight ingredients and 1 teaspoon salt; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Stir in ham, shrimp, parsley and sausage; mix lightly. Enjoy!
