Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower Fried “Rice”

Yes, please.

I surveyed the intraworlds for recipes and there are tons out there but none that totally won me over so I rigged together what sounded best to me. It is super easy, customizable, Paleo, and Whole30 approved! 

 

So here you go...

Ingredients:

1 head of Cauliflower

2 Tbsp of Coconut Oil

6 Tbsp Coconut Aminos 

2 Cloves of Garlic

2 Carrots - peeled and chopped 

1/2 of a Red Onion - chopped

A Handful of Fresh Green Beans - chopped

2 Chicken Breast - cooked (I sauteed in olive oil) and chopped

3 Eggs

Salt and Pepper - To Taste

How We Do It:

First, drop a couple of  cauliflower florets in the food processor at a time. Pulse 2-3 times or until the cauliflower is broken down into pieces. Don't over do it, you don't want it to be mushy. Place the pulsed "rice" into a bowl and then repeat until all the cauliflower has taken a whirl in the food processor. 

Drop a tablespoon of the coconut oil into a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once it has melted, toss in the garlic, carrots, onion, green beans, and the cooked chicken. Saute until the veggies are cooked - I didn't look at the time, I just sampled the carrots and decided they were good when they were cooked but not overdone.

Remove the veggies/chicken from the pan and set aside. Using the same pan, scramble the eggs. Add a little salt and pepper to the eggs and then place them in the same bowl as the cooked veggies/chicken. 

Next, add the other tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan making sure it coats the bottom. Turn the heat to high and when the oil is hot, add the cauliflower rice. Cook on high for 6 minutes stirring only a couple of times so that it browns on the bottom. You want some to get crispy but not burnt.

Once the rice has cooked, add the veggie-chicken-egg mix into the pan with the cooked cauliflower rice. Add the coconut aminos and stir to combine. 

And now eat. 

Told ya it was delish. 

Note:

I used what I had on hand but it is easily customizable. 

Green onions, peas, or other types of meat would be yummy too.
