Jan's Jambalaya made the low carb way!

Jan is one of my zaars friends so her recipes are not IPD friendly but I really liked the look of her jambalaya so made a few changes so it would be with great results.


I was a little concerned by the colour but taking another look at Jan's her rice was a little tainted by the colour of the paprika and chorizo too. The cauliflower just took on a little more.
I followed Jan's recipe except I used only one fresh red chili and one teaspoon of the ground chili (We are weaklings in the chili stakes...not like Jan) I replaced the 300g of rice with 300g grated cauliflower and only needed 300ml of chicken stock.
The taste was fab and the texture while very different to a jambalaya made with rice was more than acceptable. I will defiantly make this again and the addition of fresh prawns is wonderful...can't beat them!
Thanks Jan for posting!

  3. Glad you liked it Julie! I'd have never thought to use cauliflower instead of rice - a great idea!
