    Keto Jollof Rice

    This keto jollof rice is made with cauliflower rice to make the traditional West African rice dish low carb.

    Traditionally, jollof is made in one pot but when I tried this with cauliflower rice the result was soggy. I find cooking the cauliflower separately then adding it to the spicy tomato sauce works better. It is then baked in the oven for a more rice like texture.

    My low carb version of jollof is losely based on my Ghanian Mother-in-laws recipe. She made the best jallof and always made it vegetarian for me.

    If you don't like your food too spicy then omit the chillies.  If you like a bit more heat then add extra chillies and some ginger.

    This keto jollof rice is delicious by itself or as a side.  One head of cauliflower will happily feed four people as I found the portions a good size.  I ate some the next morning along with a couple of eggs for extra protein making a delicious spicy keto vegetarian breakfast.
