Recipe - Spanish Rice

Help’s I Can’t Believe It’s Not Spanish Rice


Ingredients:
1 head of  Ocean Mist Farm’s Cauliflower
Cooking Spray or 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced green bell pepper
2 chopped green onions
1 15 ounce can of black beans (drained)
1 tablespoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons mesquite seasoning or taco seasoning (dry) or any other Mexican style dry seasoning.
2 tablespoons of salt free Garlic and Herb Seasoning

Instructions:

Serves 6

  1. Rinse Ocean Mist Farm’s cauliflower under cold running water and pat dry.
  2. Cut cauliflower into small sections
  3. Place cut cauliflower into a food processor (or use hand chopper) and pulse or chop until cauliflower looks like grains of rice, set aside.
  4. Over medium-high heat, spray a large sauté pan with cooking spray or add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  5. Add red and green bell pepper and onions to the sauté pan. Cook until tender.
  6. Add chopped cauliflower to your veggies and spray with more cooking spray.
  7. Add garlic salt and Mexican style dry seasonings to the cauliflower rice.
  8. Under medium-high heat stir-fry the cauliflower rice until cauliflower is tender (about 15 minutes). The longer you cook the cauliflower the fluffier it will become. Do not cover cauliflower when cooking or it will become mushy. 
  9. Add black beans and mix to combine and heat through.
  10. Serve as a side dish for chicken, beef or fish.
