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
salt and pepper
Fried cauliflower and parsley rice
1½ lbs / 700 g cauliflower
4 oz. / 110 g butter
¼ cup / 60 ml chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Can be found at Diet Doctor site here

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.


~ I always enjoy see colourful Poinsettias at this time of year ~

Sorry this is a generic message, but it's all I could pull together. Late Thursday as I headed to the basement, I caught my sleeve on the railing and lost my balance. I fell down 13 of the 14 steps to the basement floor. I laid there for what seemed like hours, but in reality was probably little more than 20-30 minutes. When I was able to get up, I realized I had hurt my back enough that all I could do was lie on it. I have trouble sitting or standing. I hope you understand. If I normally visit you every day, I hope/plan to feel better by Monday. Thanks for your support and understanding. PLEASE, NO SYMPATHY. It was my own stupidity.

Wow that cauliflower does look like rice, my hubby likes his brown rice on the side.
Our dancing with the stars is over now, I was hoping Sara would make it farther on your show but heard she was voted off. I buy her products for my card making :)
