Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 medium Cauliflower
  • 2 medium Carrots
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 medium Spring onion for garnish

Instructions

  • Trim the cauliflower into small pieces, then wash it under cool water. Drain, and let dry for a few minutes.
    1 medium Cauliflower
  • Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower into fine rice-sized granules, about 10-15 pulses. Pick out any larger pieces if there are any. It's best to work in batches to ensure evenly sized pieces.
  • Wash and peel the carrots, and dice them into small cubes. Add olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add in the carrots and begin frying them.
    1 Tablespoon Olive oil, 2 medium Carrots
  • Once the carrots are nicely browned, add the riced cauliflower, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Keep frying until the mixture is golden brown and the cauliflower is tender.
    ½ teaspoon Turmeric, 1 teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • Top with spring onions and serve hot!
    1 medium Spring onion

Notes

    • Don't waste the larger pieces you pick out; set them aside, then process them again after the rest of the rice has been added to the pan.
    • If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a classic box grater!
    • To ensure the rice is completely dry, you can pat any excess moisture dry on a paper towel after blending it to size.
  •  
    • If you want to add your own flavorings, skip adding the turmeric, onions, or carrots, and just stir-fry the riced cauliflower in a little oil for five minutes.
