Peruvian Stirfry, Lomo Saltado with Cauliflower Rice (Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Low-Fat, Low-Sugar)



I've been wanting to try this forever! The ingredients fit so well, you get a vinegary punch from hot sauce and a kick from that and some jalapenos with a bit of sweet and acidic flavor from caramelized onions with home-stewed tomatoes. This truly is a stirfry with great balance, and to absorb this melody of flavors you just need some thick-cut fries to sop it all up, they never get soggy and they always stay delicious. Instead of using seitan as I usually would, I decided to make it extra simple and just used some portabella mushrooms that I had in the fridge and it worked perfectly!



(Lomo Saltado Ingredients)

  • 1/2 Large Red Onion
  • 2 tbl of Sambal Oelek
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 Jalapeno
  • 2 Mini Yellow & Orange Bell Peppers
  • 1 & 1/2 Large Tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp of Vinegar
  • 1 tsp of Hot Sauce (your choice)
  • 1/4 cup of Collard Greens
  • 1/4 cup of Sliced Portabella Mushrooms
  • 1/2 tsp of Stevia (optional)
  • Salt to taste (optional)
  • Cumin and Garlic Powder to taste
  • Cilantro


(Cauliflower Rice Ingredients)
  • 1/3 head of Cauliflower
  • 2 tbl of Olive Oil
  • Salt to taste (optional)

A large amount of Thick-Cut Fries (pre-cooked in an oven)


(Directions)
  • Simply roast your cauliflower until softened and crisped a bit.
  • run through a blender of food processor until it has the light texture of rice - but don't allow it to get mushy. Place aside.

  • Mince your jalapeno, garlic and onion and then saute in a dry pan over low heat until they lightly caramelize.
  • Season and then add in your bell peppers and tomatoes with your liquids.
  • Continue to cook on low until the tomato has softened and released more juices, then mix in your collard greens, mushrooms and seasonings. Cook and taste, adding what you feel is needed.
  • Then, turn off the heat and add your cilantro before folding in your fries and serving with your cauliflower rice.

I hope that you enjoy! ^^
