Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 medium, diced Carrots
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Tamari or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks, sliced Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the leaves and core of the cauliflower, then chop it into chunks. Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced carrots, peas, and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble them until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet, then add the riced cauliflower. Stir everything together and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Stir in the tamari or coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the cauliflower and vegetables evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the fried rice with sliced green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Cauliflower Fried Rice.
