Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion (80g)
- 1 teaspoon minced or pressed fresh garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped fresh red bell pepper (149g)
- 3 ounces uncured soppressata
- 1 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1/2 cup water
- 5 cups frozen cauliflower rice (567g)
- 12 ounces rotisserie chicken, skin removed
- 4 ounces pitted kalamata olives, halved
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- In a large oven safe skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add onions, minced or pressed garlic and salt, and sauté stirring constantly until becoming translucent, about 2 minutes. Add chopped red bell peppers and continue to sauté another 2 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, add peeled and diced soppressata, sautéing until crispy and fat has rendered, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in saffron and water and return to heat allowing to begin to bubble before adding frozen cauliflower rice. Cook cauliflower rice, folding and stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is mostly dried out and has taken on the gold color of the saffron, about 8 minutes.
- Scrape the cauliflower rice mixture into the bowl with the vegetables, add meat from rotisserie chicken (torn into bite size pieces), and halved olives, folding together until evenly distributed.
- Scrape back into the skillet, pat down into an even layer, and bake in the oven until the sides are beginning to brown and all ingredients are heated through, 15-20 minutes. Evenly divide between 4 bowls (about 1 ¾ cup each), garnish with parsley if desired and serve while warm.
