Cauliflower Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower or 4 cups of cauliflower florets
• 1 onion
• 100g butter, coconut oil, tbsp of cooking fat or ghee – your choice
• 1 tsp sea salt or salted water

Preparation

• Chop up the cauliflower & pulse it in your food processor until it is evenly chopped – don’t overdo it that it becomes too fine.
• If you want to prepare extra cauliflower to use for meals in the week you can store it in a glass container or a ziplock bag
• Melt the butter or coconut oil (or whatever you choose as above) in a frying pan & saute the onion until it is soft.
• Add the chopped cauliflower and stir it up with the onion & butter.
• Place the lid on the frying pan whilst setting the heat on low or medium and leave it to cook for between 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add some lemon juice if you like as well as salt & pepper for seasoning.
• Serve right away or set aside for later.

Lastly, it is worth noting that you can eat this Cauli-Rice with just about anything as you would with normal rice but just remember that it doesn’t need to be cooked with water as real rice does.
