Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Sausage (your choice, such as chicken or pork)
- 500 grams Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the diced bell pepper and onion. Sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, ensuring it is well mixed with the vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth, and add paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to absorb the flavors.
Return the sausage to the skillet and mix everything together. Cook for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
