Cuban Cauliflower Rice and Beans
The traditional cuban beans and rice dish gets a lot of its flavor from the starchy black bean liquid. The ketogenic version of this dish uses a limited amount of the black bean liquid and of course - cauliflower rice. This dish makes up for the lack of black bean liquid by "sweating" the vegetables for a long period of time, along with the use of spices and a little bit of chicken broth (or any broth if you'd like to make it vegan/vegetarian).
