Cauliflower Chinese rice and chipotle burguers

I brought this cauliflower rice to the Regionals party at CFUV and some people asked for the recipe, so here it is! 



My mom used to cook this for us when I was a kid, it was one of my favorite meals. I just remember asking her to cook “Chinese” rice, so this is the paleo version. I know my moms rice is good, but I really like this paleo version. I had some leftovers once and I just added 2 eggs in the morning and voila! I had a wonderful breakfast, I just realized that for breakfast I just add eggs to any leftovers. Sometimes this doesn’t end up well, but in this occasion it did!! 


“Chinese” Cauliflower rice 

Ingredients: 

¼ pound of bacon chopped (I sometimes use too much) 
2 stalks of celery cut in slices 
1 shallots or 3 green onions cut in slices 
¼ head of cabbage finely chopped 
1 cauliflower head riced 


Heat up a skillet, add the bacon to the pan. Let the bacon cook until it's brown. 
Remove the bacon from the pan, set aside and add the celery and green onions to the bacon fat, cook for around 3 minutes. 
Add the cauliflower and cabbage and mix well, cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. 
I like to add the bacon when serving. 

Chipotle Sauce 

Ingredients: 

Medium onion 
2 garlic cloves 
1 6oz can tomato sauce 
2 teaspoons chipotle pepper or more if you like spicy 
¼ cup chicken broth 

Mix all ingredients in a food processor. 


Chipotle Burgers: 

1 lb. of ground beef 
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce 

Mix the 2 tablespoons of sauce with ground beef, you may want to use plastic gloves so your hands does not get burn. (This happened to me when I used chipotle in adobo) 
When it's all welled mix, make the patties. Cook in a pan or a grill for 5 to 7  minutes. I use the George Foreman grill, I think is easier and faster. 

I eat the leftover burgers with eggs for breakfast and its one of my favorite breakfast.
