Cauliflower Rice Pilaf
So yummy, you’ll never miss the carbs!
2-3 servings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 head cauliflower – cut into florets
- 1 small shallot – diced
- 2 tablespoons Turmeric + Black Pepper Ghee – divided
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (can use freshly grated)
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries – can soak them in warm water before adding. (Use unsweetened ones, soaked in water for Paleo and Whole30)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1/2 teaspoon good salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the cauliflower florets to the grater tube in your food processor or shred it using the larger holes on a box grater. Make sure to remove the moisture by wrapping shredded cauliflower in a towel or using a fine sieve, pressing the moisture out. It should be as dry as you can get it.
- Over medium heat, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon Turmeric + Black Pepper ghee. Add the shallots and cook about 2 minutes. Stir in the turmeric and salt. Add the cauliflower rice, chives, and remaining Turmeric + Black Pepper ghee and stir till well coated. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cover tightly with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent browning or sticking. You can always add a teeny bit of water to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in dried cranberries (if soaking, remove from water), almonds and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
