Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 1 unit Bay Leaf
- 2 units Cloves
- 1 inch piece Cinnamon Stick
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh Cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and the core from the cauliflower head. Cut it into small florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets into rice-sized pieces, being careful not to over-process and turn it into mush. This should resemble fluffy grains of rice.
Heat the ghee or coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet or frying pan.
Add the cumin seeds, cloves, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick to the hot oil. Sauté for about 1 minute or until the spices release their aroma and the cumin seeds start to crackle.
Add the riced cauliflower to the pan and stir well to coat it with the oil and spices.
Season with salt and continue to sauté the cauliflower rice for about 5-7 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown and the cauliflower is cooked to your preferred texture. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the bay leaf, cloves, and cinnamon stick before serving.
Garnish the keto jeera rice with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot.
