Keto Native Jollof (Cauliflower "Rice")
Native Jollof with Cauliflower Rice and Assorted Meats

What it is

Cauliflower 'rice' replaces the grain, cooked in rich palm oil with a blend of bell peppers, onions, tomatoes (in moderation), habanero, crayfish, and a variety of assorted meats and dry fish. This version offers the characteristic smoky and spicy flavor without the high carb count.
Key ingredients
