Sausage with Cauliflower and Parsley Rice : Saturday Night Supper : Lower Carb Recipe

Yes, it's Saturday once more, and indeed the first Saturday in the month of December, we have already had a few Christmas Cards drop through our post-box, it is lovely to receive them. I am pleased to say we have also made a promising start on gift shopping and the shops do look so festive. I do hope that where you live you are able to get out and about and enjoy the season, although I know Covid restrictions are still around. 

Saturday at this time of year (for me) means watching Strictly Come Dancing, and it has reached quarter-finals week. I am looking forward to watching it, although it is not Eddie's favourite programme. I think this show is known as Dancing with the Stars in some countries. 

So a favourite TV programme needs a favourite Saturday Night Supper doesn't it!

Our choice will be a recipe I first saw at Diet Doctor site back in 2017, read more about it below.

Back in 2017 when Anne Aobadia first published this recipe it caused a bit of a 'lower carb' stir! She described it as Sausage Stroganoff, and people were saying Stroganoff, not according to Wikipedia! However, as Anne went on to say "it is a delicious take on the classic Russian dish beef stroganoff". She teamed it with fluffy cauliflower and parsley rice... gorgeous! The result being a family favourite that per serving works out at approx. 15g carb. This can alter slightly depending on what sausage you use ... we quite like a Toulouse style or one mixed with chorizo. I wonder which type you may choose ...

Ingredients
Serves Four
15g carb per serving
1 red bell pepper
2 yellow (white) onions
2 oz. / 55 g butter
1 lb / 450 g fresh sausage, use ones with a lot of flavour such as Toulouse or chorizo (also check carb content)
1 oz. / 28 g sun-dried tomatoes, preferably in olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons dried thyme
1¼ cups / 300 ml heavy (double) whipping cream or sour cream

I always think a dish like this goes down a treat at the weekend (or around mid-week), but it really is up to you dear reader to choose when you may like to sit and tuck into the flavourful plateful.
