Spanish Cauliflower Rice
This Spanish "rice" is colorful and has a bit of a kick from the jalapeno.
Ingredients
1 onion (or double)
1 cauliflower
6 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno
2 cups fresh kale, cut very small (much smaller than what you would use for a salad)
14.5 oz canned tomatoes (or 4 cups fresh)
1 tsp kosher salt
1.5 tbsp chili powder (try using a tad less next time... maybe 1 tbsp)
Instructions
1. Grate cauliflower
2. Saute onion. Add garlic and jalapeno. Saute 2-3 more minutes. Add cauliflower. Cook 5-8 minutes or until becomes golden brown.
3. Add tomatoes, salt, and chili powder. Cook until water absorbed (~5 minutes).
4. Add kale. Cook 3 minutes or until wilted.

Cauliflower Rice with Kale and Butternut Squash
The butternut sqush and cinnamon spice mixture adds a pop of sweetness to this recipe.
Yields: ~12 generous servings
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower (I recommend doubling this or halving the other components, since this will be light on the cauliflower)
1 delicata squash (or 1 butternut squash), cubed
1/4 onion
1 head kale (I used 8 leaves, ~12 cups, but could probably use less)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup raisins
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 bunch cilantro (I omitted this)
1-2 limes, juiced (I omitted this, and the recipe might be better that way.)
Instructions
1. Peel and cube butternut squash.
2. Roast at 400 degrees for ~40-60 minutes. Flip. Roast ~10-20 minutes more.
3. Saute onions, almonds, and raisins. Add spices.
4. Add cauliflower. Cook 5 minutes.
5. Add squash and kale. Cover and cook.
6. Squeeze lime onto cilantro. Stir to incorporate.
