Recipe type: Side Dish, Low Carb
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 4 servings

This low carb side dish can be made from frozen cauliflower. It has a savory flavor that pairs well with meatloaf and other comfort foods.
Ingredients
• 1 bag frozen cauliflower
• 2 carrots
• ½ medium onion
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. seasoned salt
• ½ tsp. black pepper
Instructions
1. Defrost the frozen cauliflower by running warm water over it. Drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Put the cauliflower in your food processor, or use your blender on the "chop" setting. Pulse a couple of times until the cauliflower is small like rice.
3. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a skillet. Add cauliflower, onions and carrots. Cook until veggies are almost done.
4. Season with 1 tsp. seasoned salt and ½ tsp. black pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until the cauliflower starts to brown, stirring frequently.

    I make a mexican/southwestern version. You can really put whatever you want, but this is what I do. I saute chopped peppers and onions until somewhat soft, add chopped garlic, zucchini, tomato paste and Penzeys fajita spice and saute for a few minutes, add a chopped tomato and riced cauliflower and cook until desired consistency.
