Let’s talk about one pan meals. How great are they for weeknights. Like, throw a bunch of stuff in a skillet and something amazing and delicious comes out.
Really, though, you just need a few key components to make an amazing skillet meal. Most skillet meals have a starchy main ingredient made into a meal by veggies, sauce, and some kind of protein. If you like to stay low-carb, or grain-free – you have to think outside the box.
People joke about how cauliflower is a renaissance-man of veggies. Pizza? Cauliflower. Mashed potatoes? Cauliflower. Mac N Cheese? Cauliflower. It really is versatile, and this skillet meal is no exception.
This is my take on Dirty Rice – of course, I sub in cauliflower rice and it has a great texture and really takes on the flavor of all the seasonings in the dish. You can use Cajun seasoning in place of all the individual seasonings if you wish.
I have added a Keto and Vegan adaptation in the recipe below.
Enjoy!
