Mexican Paella With Cauliflower Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Place paella pan or large flat-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Cook and crumble chorizo sausage, stirring to break up chunks, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir with sausage until chicken is no longer pink instead and is browned. Transfer chicken and sausage to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium and add 2 cups of the cauliflower rice. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes to brown the cauliflower slightly (this brings out a nutty flavor). Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Season with a pinch of salt, and pepper to taste. Add the minced garlic. Cook 2 minutes longer.
• Pour canned tomatoes into pan. Add bay leaves, thyme leaves, saffron, and basil. Mix well. Transfer sausage and chicken mixture back to pan. Add water, tomato paste, and bouillon. Stir to combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and fold in peas and remaining 1 cup of cauliflower rice. Place frozen tilapia filets on top of the paella mixture, cover and steam for another 10 minutes. Remove lid and check for doneness. Gently break apart fillets with wooden spoon, and stir to incorporate chunks of fish into paella.
• Serve from the pot at the table!

Steps:

• Cut cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until the size of couscous or grains of rice. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high. Add onion and saute until softened, then add bell pepper and garlic. Cook until lightly golden browned. Stir in cauliflower, then add spices, stock or paella base, and white wine. Stir in chorizo, ham of your choice and saute all together for about 5 minutes. (If chorizo was not fully cooked, add another 5-10 minutes cooking time here.).
• Add shrimp and parsley, and cook until shrimp has cooked through.
• Serve!
