Preheat a large cast iron or stainless steel pan over medium heat. Take the frozen cauliflower rice out of the freezer now too.
Finely chop the celery and onion.
Spray with avocado oil, olive oil or add 1 tbsp. avocado oil or olive oil. Add the chopped celery and red onion to the avocado oil and sauté 3-4 minutes.
Drain and chop the roasted red pepper.
Add the chopped roasted red pepper along with the spices and salt to the celery and onion mixture. Cook 1 minute to let the spices cook and bloom in flavor.
Pour in the frozen riced cauliflower and coconut aminos and stir well. Make sure to break up any large clumps.
After cooking for 3-4 minutes, move the cauliflower rice mixture to the sides of the large pan, allowing the excess liquid to pool up in the center. Turn the heat to medium high and allow this to boil/cook off. After 3-4 minutes most of the liquid should be gone. Stir well and cook 1 more minute over medium high heat to ensure as much excess liquid has cooked off before serving.
Notes
Note: Typically I use Trader Joe's organic cauliflower rice, which comes in 12 oz. packages. Other additions:Protein: Ground sausage, ground turkey, ground beef, shrimp, tofu, smoked oysters, smoked sardines, red kidney beans, black beans, lentils.Spice: Red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, jalapeno peppers (fresh or pickled)How to store leftovers:
Fridge: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Stove leftover cauliflower dirty rice in the freezer for up to 2 months in a freezer safe bag or container.
To reheat after defrosting, it’s best to use a skillet to reheat the dirty cauliflower rice as the cauliflower rice, celery and peppers can get watery when defrosting.
