Ingredients
2 packs cajun chicken sausage (sliced) - I love the one from the brand Bilinksi’s
6 cups frozen riced cauliflower
1/2 cup white onion (chopped)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
1/4 cup green onion (chopped)
1 + 1/2 tbsp cajun seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
salt, to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for about 10 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
To the same pan, add the onion, bell peppers, and cajun seasoning and sauté for 2 to 4 minutes, until soften.
Add the cauliflower rice, stirring well to combine. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower softens, stirring occasionally. (Note: do not cover pan, as this can make the cauliflower mushy.)
Return the sausages back to the pan, toss to combine, and cook for another minute. Season with salt to taste.
Remove from heat, stir in the chopped green onions, and serve.
8-Minute Jammy Eggs
I've been making perfectly jammy eggs and keeping them stocked in my fridge. They’re so easy to prepare in bulk, allowing me to enjoy them all week. I’ve been eating plenty of these to ensure I get enough choline during my pregnancy!
