Got this off of jamie's site.. Lighter side of low carb.. I don't know if your are like me but I am always looking for what I call. ' go alongs' sides that go along with something I make in place of the high carb things from before.Sometime I just can look AT another GREEN BEAN or BROCCOLI spear

. here is a good ' Go Along '
Pair this with any low-carb meal. I did this with some homemade tacos made w La Tortilla Factory tortillas, YUM we enjoyed it a lot


Your cauliflower can be processed in advance the day before (keep refrigerated). Simply prepare with ingredients at meal time, and you're into a hot bowl of gorgeousness before you can say "Antonio Banderas".

By Jamie aka Carbarella, Lighter Side of Low Carb

Spanish Rice

One 16 ounce bag of frozen cauliflower makes 3 cups rice

1 16 ounce bag frozen cauliflower, cooked and chopped (or grated/riced/processed)
½ cup onion, chopped
1 cup mushroom, chopped
4 Tbsp canola oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp chicken bouillion (look for product with no msg)
1 tsp cumin
1 can ro-tel

In a skillet over medium heat, cook onion, garlic and bouillion until onion is clear, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cauliflower, chopping and stirring. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until cauliflower has turned golden brown. Stir in ro-tel or enchilada sauce. Remove from heat. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve.

This also makes great leftovers.

Makes 6, ½ cup servings.

I've made "Spanish Rice" using Cauliflower instead of rice using my regular Spanish rice recipe.

(Using cauliflower as rice has been talked about here before. George has a cauliflower - rice recipe. And I think there is at least one other Spanish "rice" recipe on here.
But your's is different. There are fried "rice" recipes here. Or at least 1.)

I didn't say that to say you shouldn't have posted it. Just saying there are others. You might want to check and see if you would be interested in any of them as well.

We are all constantly finding something "new" that has been being done for quite some time by others.

I want to apologize to Flo for my above post.
I realize that it sounded like I was scolding her for posting that recipe. I assure her and you all that I did NOT mean it that way.

Just wanted to let others know that yes, you can use cauliflower as a rice sub, and there are also other recipes here that do that, and you might see about checking them out also.

Flo, I THANK YOU for posting the above recipe!!!
Please do not stop posting them! And please accept my apologies for sounding like this one was not appreciated. It is!!

Sometimes I just can't get put in writing things the way I mean them! They sometimes come out sounding (reading) quite different than what I meant.
I am sorry if I hurt your feelings or even made you mad. I most certainly did not mean to!!!!!
