Cauliflower Fried Rice With Zucchini And Sausages (Grain Free, Low Carb)

Cauliflower Fried Rice With Zucchini And Sausages

I’m getting a teensy bit carried away with cooking and sharing low carb recipes over the past couple of weeks. This recipe is one I often have a play with and thought it was about time that I shared the deliciousness with you…

To make the cauliflower rice you can either use your food processor or a hand held grater to chop the cauliflower into rice like pieces. I prefer to use my hand held grater and a large bowl because it’s quick and easy and less washing up than the whole food processor! I use the coarse side of the grater and every now and then let a tiny stalk fall into the bowl so that the dish will include a variety of shapes and sizes.

The sausages I chose to use in this instance were a gluten free lamb and garlic variety. The flavour from the sausages was blended into the dish when cooked so I decided not to add a sauce/topping as the flavour was delicious. If you have plain sausages (or prefer things a little saucier!) then feel free to top with soy sauce, tamari or another complementary sauce to taste.

Cauliflower Fried Rice With Zucchini And Sausages

  • 1/2 to 1 Head Cauliflower (depending on the size)
  • 1 Onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2-3 Zucchini, chopped
  • 300g Gluten Free Sausages (pre-cooked and chopped)
  • Coconut Oil Or Butter For Frying
  1. Grate the cauliflower into a large bowl. You can grate as fine or as course as you like. I prefer using the coarse side of the grater and even leave a few tiny cauliflower stalks too.
  2. In a large frying pan heat the coconut oil or butter.
  3. When hot add the onion and garlic cloves and cook over medium/high heat until slightly softened and fragrant.
  4. Add the zucchini and cook until lightly browned.
  5. Finally, add the chopped sausages and cauliflower rice and cook until the sausages are heated through and the cauliflower rice is cooked to your liking.
