Broccoflower with Spicy Italian Sausage

Begin heating a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Remove the casing from the spicy Italian sausage. Brown the sausage in the pan, using a fork or spatula to break the sausage into pieces.

While the sausage is cooking, cut up broccoflower into smaller florets, and place in an 8×8 glass dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and heat for 4 minutes on high in the microwave. (Alternatively, you can steam the broccoflower for a few minutes making sure not to overcook.) Place the steamed broccoflower in a food processor and pulse until approximately the size of rice. (Do this in multiple batches if necessary.)

Once the sausage is completely browned, add the “riced” broccoflower to the pan and stir while cooking for 5-10 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the diced red bell pepper and chopped parsley. Serve warm.
