Keto Caribbean Cauliflower Rice and Beans Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil
- ½ cup yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb cauliflower rice
- ½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- One 15 oz can black soy beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 small habanero pepper, whole (*Omit if you prefer it less spicy.)
- Kosher sea salt, or to taste
Directions:
Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet until melted.
Add diced onion and a sprinkle of salt and saute until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add garlic and saute until fragrant, around 1 minute.
Add cauliflower rice, coconut milk, black soy beans, thyme, habanero pepper, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring every 30 seconds, for 2-3 minutes until beans are warmed through and the cauliflower rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the coconut milk. Remove the habanero pepper and serve.
