This looks and feels like rice but isn’t!
Try a cauliflower rice for variety... you will not be disappointed. Surprisingly easy to make, highly nutritious and low in calories and fat. You can add almost any seed or vegetable to this to enhance flavor and change texture.
I love frying the rice in coconut oil, adding some Mexican taco seasoning, spices like paprika and coriander, peas, corn and roasted cashews or pumpkin seeds.
Enjoy as a simple separate dish or combine with meat or fish for a more balanced meal.

Grate fresh cauliflower in a food processor until it is the size of rice. Alternatively, you can shred it with a hand-held grater, or even use a knife, if you have the dexterity to chop it up very finely.
Heat a large pan over medium heat with a teaspoon of coconut oil. Once the oil is warm pour the shredded cauliflower, turning a few times until cooked.
Add peas, corn and spices for another 2-4 min until golden brown. Top with pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs.
