Ingredients:
2 lbs cauliflower head, separated into large florets
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 medium green bell peppers, chopped into small bite-sized pieces
1 lb chicken breasts, cubed
1 1/2 tsp salt
Pinch of ground black pepper
15 oz. can tomato sauce
2 x 14 oz can black beans, drained & rinsed
2 tbsp harissa (or other hot chili pepper paste)
3 tbsp green onions, chopped
Cooking spray (olive or coconut oil)
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, add cauliflower florets in small batches and process until "rice" forms. Be sure to not over-process florets into a mush. Transfer "rice" to bowl.
2. Preheat large and deep non-stick pan, spray with cooking spray. Add cauliflower "rice" and cook for 3-4 minutes or until slightly golden, stirring frequently and being careful not to burn. In the last minute of cooking, add 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
3. Return skillet to medium heat and swirl olive oil to coat. Add onion, garlic, and green bell peppers; cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add remaining salt, tomato sauce, black beans, and harissa (or other hot chili paste); stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, for 10 more minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cauliflower "rice" and sprinkle with green onions.
5. Serve hot and enjoy!
