Paleo Vegetable Rice

In honesty i wasn't sure aout this one, as i'm not a lover of cauliflower. I take it or leave it, but on Paleo its commonly a good replacement for mash or rice. So i thought i'd give it a go.
I got the inspiration and core recipe from Elana's Pantry Paleo Dirty Rice, with a few modifications.
And i was MORE THAN pleasantly surprised. I have leftovers for tomorrow and i have frozen some too.


Ingredients
  • 2 TBsp coconut oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 bunch scallions, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 cups cauliflower, riced in your food processor
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp himalayan rock salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 cups chicken stock (gluten free)

Method
  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
  2. Add garlic, scallions, and peppers and sauté until soft.
  3. Stir in riced cauliflower, adding bay leaf, salt pepper, chili flakes and cumin seeds.

  4. Add in the chicken stock
  5. Allow to simmer over a medium heat for about 30 minutes or until liquid is cooked down.
Strain any remaining liquid through a sieve. Eat on its own or serve with stri-fry or chicken fillet.
