Directions
1. In a skillet over medium-low heat, boil 1/4 cup water. Add sausages, cover and cook until sausages are cooked, turning from time to time. Remove the lid and allow water to evaporate, still turning sausages on all sides until browned. Set aside in a plate.
2. In the same skillet melt butter or olive oil (rinse the skillet if the sausage left burnt bits, but it shouldn’t have). Add minced garlic and cook for one minute, stirring occasionally. Add cauliflower rice and toss to coat. Add chicken broth, Italian seasoning, lime juice, and hot sauce and simmer until the sauce has reduced a bit, 3 – 4 minutes.
3. Add lime zest and chopped cilantro to the cauliflower rice and give a quick stir. Season with black pepper, to taste. Add sausages back into the skillet to reheat quickly for 2 minutes. Serve the Italian Sausage with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice immediately with lime wedges. Enjoy!
