I have to admit, I have been holding off trying this ....

You see I am not a huge fan of cauliflower and thought the taste may be overwhelming.

But this week I put on my big girl pants and gave it a go!

 

I was really pleased with the results - 2 out of the 3 kids were too (3 out of 4 if you include my husband).

 

Ingredients

​

• 1 head cauliflower

• 5-10 cloves of chopped garlic

• herbs/spices to taste - I used dried parsley and cilantro

• 2 Tbsp coconut oil (or extra virgin olive oil)

• salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions

​

Wash the cauliflower (I use white vinegar and water), remove stems and break into small pieces.

​

Blend (or grate) until the cauliflower looks like rice (I used my blendtec)

​

Heat the oil in the fry pan, saute garlic over a medium heat (you could add onion as well).

​

Add the "rice" and stir so coated with the oil, if you have a lid put that on and cook for 5-7 mins otherwise continue in the fry pan stirring occasionally for 10 - 12 mins.

​

Add herbs, salt and pepper and stir then serve.

I put mine under meatballs (see recipe here).

NOTE, if you are using this as a side, use fresh herbs and add in the juice of 1 lime right before serving.

​

Enjoy!
