Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Frying pan

Ingredients

  • Half a cauliflower
  • Half an onion
  • Coconut oil
  • Pinch of cumin
  • Pinch of paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cauliflower: First, grate the cauliflower florets by hand or use a food processor until the consistency resembles rice. This will form the base of your dish.
  • Cook the Onion: Dice the onion into small pieces. Heat some coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to turn golden, ensuring it doesn't burn.
  • Add the Cauliflower and Spices: Next, add the grated cauliflower to the pan. Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir the mixture for a few moments, ensuring the cauliflower rice doesn't burn. Add more coconut oil if necessary to keep it from sticking.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Finally, season with sea salt to taste. Serve the rice immediately. You can also make extra to store in the fridge, ready to be reheated with dinner.
