Try to use saffron if you can. It’s sweet mellow flavor works beautifully with the smoked paprika. If you can’t, instead use 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric in step 2. It will give your cauliflower rice paella its beautiful classic yellow color.
In the winter, when tomatoes aren’t that good, use 2 cups of canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh and if you use a 28oz can, freeze the leftovers for another meal.
