Peruvian-Style Roasted Chicken with Sweet Onions
Serves 6
This wonderfully aromatic chicken dish is short on prep and big on flavor. It's also a great dish to make ahead the day before and reheat -- it's even tastier after the flavors meld. Serve with rice and a green salad.
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar ( I had red wine vinegar)
2 large sweet onions, peeled and thickly sliced
1 chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces* ( or use checken breast or other meat)
2 red or yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into chunks
1 lemon, sliced
Method
Preheat oven to 425°F. Oil a large roasting pan and set aside. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic, vinegar and oil to make a paste. Place onions in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the paste. Rub chicken pieces with remaining paste and place in prepared pan, then cover with onions, peppers and lemon. Roast, basting occasionally with pan juices, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are very tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
* Note: If the chicken has been precut into eight pieces, simply cut each breast in half through the rib cage to ensure even cooking. Or, you can ask your butcher to cut a whole chicken into 10 pieces with breasts deboned.

Here i sone method..
And you can google some more...
The cali-rice
The cauliflower and pulse it in a food processor until about the size of rice (of course cutting it into smaller pieces before putting it in the processor.)
Then put it in a microwave bowl covered for 8 minutes without adding any water (it has enough in it already)
To sauté it in a pan to brown and crisp it up a bit, not completely.
Then they say to use it as a replacement in any dish that calls for rice.
It seems to absorb the flavor of whatever you are cooking it with...like tofu....
It has 350 calories less than the same size serving of rice....
Another method is even easier:
Cali-rice:
While bringing a pot of lightly salted water to boil, cut cauliflower into florets. Add to boiling water and boil for about 5 minutes or so. Drain and then mash with a heavy spoon or potato masher. Set aside.
Cook just 5 min or ligthly steam.

8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
3 eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon basil, optional
Toppings of your choice *
Mix the cheeses, eggs, garlic powder and basil well. Line a 16-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Evenly spread the cheese mixture in the pan, almost to the edge, making it as thin as possible. Bake at 450º 15-20 minutes until golden brown. I suggest checking it after about 10 minutes. If it's getting very dark on the edges and top, turn the oven down to 400º and continue baking until brown all over and no longer pale on the bottom. Pat off any excess grease then add your toppings. Keeping the oven rack in the center position, put the pizza under the broiler until the toppings are hot and any cheese you added is melted and bubbly, about 4-5 minutes.
Makes 8 servings
Can be frozen
yummy
* You may want to sauté your mushrooms, peppers and other vegetable toppings before using because the pizza will only be baked briefly with the toppings on. I also recommend pre-warming any meat toppings as well. I put all of my toppings, except the sauce and cheese, in a big skillet and heated them up together.

Ground beef or turkey or chicken. Broth, I prefer chicken, of any flavour. Add cumin, paprika, chili peppers, garlic powder, onion powder and salt to taste. Some salsa. Check labels as some have added sugar. Obviously avoid those. Stir in some cream cheese. You can also add black olives and scallions.
Garnish with sour cream and cheddar cheese.
Sorry I don't have measurements but if you just adjust to your preference I don't think you can go wrong.
