Totally Addictive Cauliflower Rice

This cauliflower rice is ready in under 10 mins, uses regular, non-exotic ingredients (so probably won’t require any complicated shopping trips – handy at this time of year) and is (wait for it) gluten, dairy, nut, sugar, soy, egg, legume and starch free, suitable for paleo, GAPS, SCD, vegan, vegetarian and ketogenic diets to boot.

I am a massive rice fiend and haven’t bothered with cauliflower rice, figuring that it ‘just won’t be the same’. Nothing compares to steamed jasmine rice. That’s still true, but this cauliflower number is delicious in it’s own right.

Totally Addictive Cauliflower Rice

  • 2 cups steamed cauliflower (or 1 small head broccoli, chopped into florets and stalk diced into super-small cubes) – you want the veggies to be soft but not mush, this makes for the nicest consistency
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger (organic if possible)
  • 1/2 teaspoon himalayan salt (you may use herbamare or a homemade herb salt if you’d rather)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (organic if possible)
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • A pinch of chilli flakes (organic if possible)
  • 1 Tablespoon, cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil

Method

Place steamed cauliflower in a serving bowl and chop up to a ‘rice’ consistency, using either a knife or fork (or for the cheats version, a potato masher). Dress with olive oil and place spices on top. Stir together well with a fork, coating all that cauliflower in the spices and oil. Serve on it’s own as a delicious, easy-to-digest, light meal or as a side dish to a curry, stir-fry or some baked fish.
