Cauliflower Fried Rice

[elleng]

When cut into small pieces, cauliflower truly resembles the same bite and texture as rice. This easy cauliflower recipe has minced cauliflower that soaks up all the flavors just like rice, but you doesn’t have all the carbs and calories that rice has.

1 medium head cauliflower
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons (30ml) cooking oil, divided
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup (120ml) diced frozen carrots
1/2 cup (120ml) frozen peas
2 Tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce *for gluten-free use tamari
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
fresh cracked black pepper to taste
2 green onions, diced
optional: kosher salt
more optional vegetables: celery, broccoli, corn, spinach

2. I have a similar recipe that uses zucchini and summer squash instead

It's a little simpler -

1 medium zucchini
1 medium summer squash
1 small sweet onion
1/2 cup long grain white or brown rice
1 cup water or choice of stock
salt to your taste

Cut the zucchini, summer squash and a small onion into small dice. Sautee the onion in your choice of oil or fat until just translucent. Stir in the zucchini, summer squash and rice (I use brown rice), stir into onion, then add water or stock. Bring to a boil then reduce temperature and simmer until the rice is done.

The zucchini and summer squash add a buttery flavor to the rice as well as a silky texture.
