Spicy Cauliflower Rice

Hello Dear Reader,


We eat a lot of rice here at Chez SHI, Lovely Hubby is of Chinese decent, although it is pretty watered down, so he grew up eating rice nearly every night. I think over the years we have evened things out a bit, eating rice about 2 or 3 times a week. I don't know how this compares to other families in Australia but it is quite normal for us.

Dietarily we can eat rice with no issue and we both love rice so I guess that is why I had never tried cauliflower as an alternative, but last Thursday I addressed that when I picked up an organic cauliflower that was marked down and finally made this Spicy Cauliflower Rice. I have to say it was wonderful, light and full of flavour it went beautifully with the Mushroom and Bean Curry I made to use up a random can of four bean mix I had in the pantry.

Ingredients for Spicy Cauliflower Rice, clockwise from centre top, 1 head of cauliflower cut into smallish florets, 2 cloves of garlic, grated on a microplane or jarred alternative (this was left over from when our son and partner used to make their own meals occasionally and I was out of garlic, so jarred it was) a small bunch of coriander, finely chopped (this was frozen, I had chopped it finely and frozen it a while ago to prevent waste) 1/2 a medium onion and 2 teaspoons of turmeric 

In a Thermomix, in two batches blitz cauliflower florets, reverse direction, on speed 5, if using a food processor just pulse till rice like consistency has been reached

Rice like consistency 

Sauté onion and garlic together in a little oil till onion is translucent 

Now add the turmeric and sauté till fragrant, add the cauliflower rice and continue to cook 10 minutes of so until evenly tinted with the turmeric mixture and warmed through, stirring through the chopped coriander just before serving. 

Serve with curry of choice

One last thing, I want to share this meme with you, I think it is hilarious and so very true-



Join in, do you use cauliflower as an alternative to anything else?

Have a lovely day,
💗Fi
