Vegetable Fried Cauli-Rice

Do you need a good side-dish for your protein star? Do you miss Chinese food after converting to the Paleo lifestyle? This recipe is great for both!

Cauliflower is crazy versatile and can be used to emulate potatoes or rice in most dishes. This is a great way to get a lot of good veggies in for a side dish that everyone is sure to enjoy. You may not even realize it's cauliflower and not rice! It's THAT good.

The easiest way to "rice" your cauliflower is with the shredder blade for your food processor. But you can also use a box grater for the same effect, it'll just take a little longer and some elbow grease.

Ingredients

1. 1 Large head of cauliflower

2. 1 Green Pepper and/or 1-2 carrots

3. 1/2 Onion

4. 2-3 Tablespoons of Coconut Aminos or wheat-free Soy Sauce

5. 1 Tablespoon of cooking fat (Ghee, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil...)

(Extra: You could add a couple drop of fish sauce if you want, for extra flavor)

Instructions

1. Heat up your pan on medium heat, and add in your cooking oil.

2. Dice up your onions, and peppers/carrots, and add to the pan.

Cauliflower added.

6. Put a lid on the pan and let steam for 10 minutes, then stir. Then steam for another 10 minutes. By this point, the cauliflower should be cooked through. Taste it now and see if you want it softer. If so, cook it another 5-10 minutes.

7. Now put this in your belly!

Finished product!

Delicious, healthy side dish!
