Dirty Cauliflower Rice
This Dirty Cauliflower Rice recipe is a healthy spin on the classic Creole dish called Dirty Rice. It is simple, quick, easy and full of flavor! This low carb, one-pan wonder can be on the table in less than 30 minutes!
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 lb. ground turkey or beef
- 1 bag frozen peppers and onions
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 12 Oz. frozen cauliflower rice
-
Preheat a heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the ground meat and season with 1 tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. pepper and ½ tsp. garlic powder. Brown ground meat, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula until it begins to caramelize. If it sticks to the bottom of the pan, that’s ok.
-
After the meat begins to caramelize, reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and peppers and continue to cook for about 5 -7minutes or until the veggies are tender and the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and the other seasonings and cook for another minute.
-
Add the frozen cauliflower rice, water and season with salt and garlic powder. Stir to combine and use the liquid to loosen the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. This will give the cauliflower rice its “dirty” color! Continue to cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower rice is tender and there is no liquid left in the pan. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Garnish with sliced onion and chopped parsley and serve!

salt & pepper to taste
Frozen cauliflower rice works best in this dish because it still cooks and holds up to the heat without getting squishy.
This looks good! I will have to use different seasoning since Tony Chachere’s is not gluten free 😭
I bet you could come up with your own. I’ll research it and see what I can find for you.
