Hello everyone!
I hope you are having a fabulous day. Me – well, my internet and phone line decided to die on me unexpectedly, and I don’t have a clue what to do about it or if it’s going to come back any time soon (grr).
Since this happened at the last minute before I had prepared my post for tomorrow, for today I am sharing with you a quick recipe idea. And on Monday – you get to hear all about the Caveman Regimen – the ‘do absolutely nothing at all’ skincare routine that I’ve been testing out for the last couple of weeks!
Today’s recipe/kitchen idea is for cauliflower rice. You might not be a fan of cauliflower, but you will be after this! It’s become my new all time favourite vegetable dish (to the point where I’m afraid I’m going to wear it out and get sick of it!), and everyone I’ve shared it with really likes it too.
Plus, it’s better for you than regular rice. It’s more nutritious and isn’t just full of starch – and it is very absorbant, meaning it takes on the flavour of whatever you add to it to the point where it doesn’t taste anything like boring old cauliflower and matches every dish. So be creative with your spices!
For me, my absolute favourite way to do it is this:
Cauliflower Rice
Ingredients:
Cauliflower (1/4 to a full head depending on how many leftovers you want)
Carrot
Cumin
Lemon Juice
Sea Salt
Butter or ghee or coconut oil (different tastes to them.. I really enjoy the taste of ghee on this)Instructions:
Grate cauliflower and carrot on a cheese grater (or throw it in a food processor). Place in a deep baking tray. Add cumin, lemon juice, sea salt, and your butter, ghee or coconut oil and mix all together (you may need to place it in the oven for a few minutes to melt the fat and then mix). Place in the oven at 375 degrees until translucent and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
You could also just use a frying pan to cook it too if you had a small amount.
So there it is – coming straight at ya from a cafe on Darby St, Newcastle, NSW, Australia. See you on Monday!

Hi!
Thanks for sharing this recipe with us! It seems to be very tasty! It will make a change from the coliflower “gratin” with béchamel!
PS : Excuse my english, I’m french 🙂
Hmm I will have to look into what cauliflower gratin with bechamel is! It sounds good!
I absolutly love when you are doing some recipe/food posts!! Sometimes I just run out of inspiration and every time I’m doing your recipe, I have a fabulous dinner 😉 Thank you for that!! I want some more! Oh and I particularly love your ideas for fermented food 😉
It’s silly… I always forget about recipes as awesome blog posts. I know people like them! It took my internet breaking for me to remember that.
Thanks for the recipe, it looks very healthy!
Looks awesome Tracy.
Tracy, made this tonight, with small head of cauliflower, 4 carrots, coconut oil and sea salt, very good. Using that shredder thing, mine is 4 sided silver thing is brutal!
Love the recipes, please keep them up!
I love cauliflower rice too! During my candida cleanse, I wanted to eat only this for all my meals : )
Can you do like a video on how long to cook the rice because I made it and it was not as great as I thought
I’ve discovered that it really needs to be browned to taste reeeally good (which I know is not the healthiest way to cook, but oh well), and that it’s more effectively achieved by baking it in the oven on high heat, and maybe even broiling it. It works okay to do it in a frying pan only if you have a fairly small amount
Actually, making again tonight! Thanks again Tracy!
SO….does this mean cauliflower may possibly be anti-acne food??
dont know about you…..but i looveee cauliflowers (but i like it deep fried with lots of oil and salt)….not the healthiest i guesss….
