Recipe: Spanish cauliflower rice

I wasn't sure about this recipe which I found here.   https://www.olivemagazine.com/recipes/quick-and-easy/spanish-cauli-rice/

It looked a likely one to make Slimming World friendly and this is what I did.

Ingredients to make enough for a dinner and a lunch
spray oil
4 Heck paprika sausages, each one cut into five bits
a small onion, peeled, halved and sliced
one roasted red pepper from a jar (not in oil), sliced
two mushrooms, halved and sliced
about 20 frozen prawns (defrosted)
200g cauliflower, zizzed into 'rice'
smoked paprika
salt and pepper
dried parsley
soy sauce
(yes, I know the last is somewhat incongruous but it works)

I used my wok but an ordinary pan would be fine.

Method:
Spray the wok with oil and heat.
Add the sausage bits and the sliced onion and stir fry, mixing to prevent them catching.
Add the pepper and the mushroom and a bit more spray oil if needed and continue cooking.  Keep the heat quite high and keep stirring.
Add the prawns, a good pinch of smoked paprika (to own taste), a pinch of dried parsley, some salt and pepper and a squidge of garlic and continue to fry briefly.
Then add the cauliflower rice and stir fry the lot for three to five minutes, stirring, until the cauliflower rice is cooked.  Check the seasoning and adjust (but be careful with the salt because of the soy sauce).
Finally, shake in some soy sauce, mix well and serve.



It doesn't look great, does it?  Rather yurky, in fact!  However, despite my reservations, it was surprisingly nice and very filling - I could only manage just over half so the rest in in the freezer for lunch another day.  And I can envisage so many variations, it's bound to appear again in some form or another.

SW:  free, loaded with speed veg what with the cauliflower, the onion, pepper and mushroom, and also low in fat.
