Instructions to make Pork (or Chicken) and Spanish Cauli-"Rice":
- Dry roast the cumin in a dry skillet over medium heat until it smells toasty but is not burned. Remove and set aside.
- Rice the cauliflower either with a hand box grater or in a food processor. Set aside for now.
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- In a large skillet or dutch oven heat the oil and chicken fat. Add the meat and slightly brown it on the surfaces.
- Add the onion and bell pepper. Saute to partially tenderize.
- Add garlic, roasted cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder and saffron threads. Add the cilantro last, if using. Stir well.
- Turn off heat. Add the cauli-rice & tomatoes into the pot and stir to mix it evenly into the meat mixture.
- Cover the casserole pan or Dutch oven with a tight fitting lid.
- Pop into 350º oven for 30-35 minutes and allow flavors to blend.
- Remove and sprinkle with Monterrey Jack cheese and return to oven without lid for 5-10 more minutes to allow cheese to melt and become bubbly.
- Pairs nicely with a lovely guacamole salad.
- Note: you can sub regular rice for the cauliflower if you have a diehard cauli-hater, but this is the dish to win them over with! :-)
Construct the meat/veggie mixture, stir in the cauli-rice and lay the chicken pieces on the surface evenly. The "rice" (even when I made it with real rice) is very soft in this method of preparation. Just so you know what to expect. Put the chicken on a folded piece of non-stick baking paper set on a baking tray. Slice, then serve on a plate with the cauli 'rice' and spoon over any cooking juices.
