Prep Notes
If you are short on time, you can use pre-chopped cauliflower that can be found in the frozen section of your grocery store. (Green Giant has 4 varieties including blends with sweet potato, broccoli, or peas and carrots!)
Cooking Time
10 minutes
Yields
8 servings
Ingredients
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
¼ tsp paprika
¼ cup water
1 head cauliflower, medium size
¼ cup almond slivers, toasted
2 Tbsp raisins or currants
¼ tsp salt or to taste
Directions
- To make rice, wash and cut cauliflower into florets. Place about ¼ of florets into food processor and pulse until the size of rice grains. Repeat with remaining florets until you have about 4 cups of “rice.” Alternatively, you can place florets into processor using the grater wheel and process.
- Heat a medium pot on medium-high. Add oil and allow to heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes.)
- Stir in paprika, water, and cauli-rice.
- Cover and allow to cook 4-5 minutes, being careful not to overcook the “grains.” You want them firm and not mushy.
- Add toasted almond slivers, raisins (or currants) and salt.
- Mix with fork, transfer to serving dish, and enjoy!
