Keto Spicy Chorizo and Piquante Rice
This low carb rice recipe is packed with flavor, spices, and Keto- friendly fats. Our Keto rice recipe is prepared with aromatic onion and garlic, spicy peppadew peppers, smoky Spanish chorizo, fragrant fresh thyme, smoked paprika, and cauliflower rice. Once prepared, the rice is gently simmered in stock until tender. This Keto rice recipe is perfect served as a light low carb lunch option or as individual Keto sides.
What Kind of Chorizo Should I Use?
We have used a cured Spanish chorizo for this Keto rice recipe. The chorizo is roughly diced and pan-fried to release its flavors and juices before being combined with the other ingredients. If preferred, you can use a crumbled Mexican chorizo alternative spicy sausage. Please be sure to adjust your cooking times and macros as needed to account for the use of different ingredients.
How Do I Make Cauliflower Rice?
Cauliflower rice is a great Keto-friendly substitution for traditional carb-heavy rice. You maybe be able to find ready prepared cauliflower rice in your local grocery store, either fresh or frozen. Alternatively, you can prepare the rice yourself very easily. Simply grate the florets of a cauliflower using a box grater until you have the desired quantity. You will also find other cauliflower rice recipes in our sides section.
