Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) avocado oil
  • 14 ounces (397 g / 14 oz) fully cooked andouille sausage, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • ½ cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) diced green bell pepper
  • 1 rib celery, diced, about ½ cup / 50 g (1.76 oz)
  • 1 (12-ounce) / 340 g (12 oz) bag frozen riced cauliflower
  • 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) Creole Seasoning, plus more to taste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • For a heartier meal, stir in a can of drained diced tomatoes with the broth or top the finished dish with fresh sliced green onions.
  • This dish reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Feel free to substitute the andouille with other proteins like smoked kielbasa, diced chicken thigh, or shrimp (add shrimp in the last 5 minutes of cooking).

Method
 

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crisped, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the skillet.
  4. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent.
  5. Stir in the frozen riced cauliflower, vegetable broth, Creole seasoning, and the bay leaf.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 more minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. The mixture should be slightly thickened.
  8. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  9. Adjust the heat by choosing a mild or hot andouille sausage, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the Creole seasoning for an extra kick.
