Cauliflower Rice

[Nibb]

Been hooked on this recently - really an excellent zero/ low carb alternative to normal rice.

Cauli rice
1/2 a cauliflower,
1 tsp of cumin seeds (grounded in pestle & mortar),
1/2tsp of turmeric,
1/4tsp of paprika,
1 scotch bonnet chilli (leave seeds out or omit altogether if you don't like heat)
1/2 onion finely chopped,
1 tblspoon of coconut oil.
Grate the cauliflower using a cheese grater and place in a bowl.

Heat a pan and add coconut oil, add all the spices and fry on medium heat for about 30 secs, add onion and chilli and fry for 2-3 minutes.

Once the onion has softened add the cauliflower and mix until it colours (yellow), add about a 1/4 cup of water and cover pan for a 3-4 minutes, you can turn heat down to low and allow to steam.

I/2 a cauli will feed 2-3 people and serve instead of rice, this works well with both meat and fish.

Cooking time is around 7 minutes so its quicker than most carbohydrates to prepare!

Just tried this recipe & thought it was really nice & I will definately do it again. I had it with some stir fry turkey marinated in dark soy sauce, grated root ginger, birds eye chillie & garlic.

Whats the receipt list for the chilli? You can make some nice meat slop with cauliflower rice which lasts a week.

Just had this tonight myself, with chicken breast (with onion, garlic, tomato, white wine) - great alternative to rice or bread with a meal

The coconut oil was a tad expensive but very tasty

Daft question, how strong is the cauliflower taste?

[katana]

Its doused in in strong spices. So take a guess.

[prezzy]

no strong spices in there?

It pretty much tastes of cauliflower

Try lightly stir frying in it. You will see a flavour difference.
