Low Carb Cajun Cauli Hash

by Amanda C. Hughes

You won’t regret this delicious Cajun Cauli Hash breakfast treat that can also be eaten for dinner!

This is the best way to eat cauliflower, saturated in Cajun and pastrami seasoning. This Cajun Cauli Hash dish is the most remarkable low carb breakfast I’ve had so far. I’m so bummed I didn’t invent it myself! Nope, it has minor variations on flavor, ingredients and carb counts, but this gem was inspired by Sprinkled Side Up’s Cauliflower Pastrami Hash. This Cajun Cauli Hash is so darn good.

What’s the Cajun seasoning consist of?

lindseygurth It’s usually a proprietary mixture, but it’s heavy on the paprika, garlic and onion. I got mine from New Orleans last time I was there, but you could even use Old Bay or try this one from McCormick: http://amzn.to/2jogelJ

Hi, I thought this was great.

Changed the recipe just a bit.
For the cajun seasoning I used Paul Prudhomme’s recipe. A google search will find it.
I doubled up on the cajun seasoning and added extra salt a pepper.
Also added a few shakes of Cholula hot sauce.
Also added some left over cooked ground pork sausage and diced ham.
Left out the green pepper, they don’t always agree with me.
Will do this one again.
Thanks
