The ingredients for Dirty Rice are:

1 head, medium (5-6" dia) Cauliflower, raw
.5 medium (2-1/2" dia) chopped Onions, raw
1 cup, chopped Green Peppers (bell peppers)
2 clove Garlic minced
1 tsp Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning (Or other season salt)
16 oz Ground beef (can sub any ground meat)
1 tbsp Olive Oil

Here is how you make Dirty Rice:

Rice the cauliflower raw.Saute onions and green pepper in large pan with lid until clear and soft. Set aside in bowl. In same pan brown ground meat until fully cooked and chopped fine. A higher fat content meat works best, but you can add oil if using too lean a cut. Return the onion and peppers to the pan and add minced garlic. Add 1/2 cup of water to mix and moisten the mixture. Add cauliflower and season with cajun seasonings. Mix well. Cover pan and leave on low heat until cauliflower is soft. Stir occasionally. If mixture seems to dry, add additional water and raise temp to steam the cauliflower. I find that the flavors meld more over night, so I usually cook this a day ahead and let it sit to absorb all the goodness. It is pretty good right away also! This freezes and reheats very well.Serving Size: Makes about 8 servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ERINEDYTHE.
