Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 shallots
- 2 red chili peppers
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams spinach
- 1 lime
Instructions
Trim the cauliflower and cut into florets. Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Set aside and keep warm.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Mince the garlic and shallots, chop the chili peppers, and grate the ginger. Bruise the lemongrass stalk with the back of a knife.
In a bowl, combine the chicken strips, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is well coated.
Heat the remaining coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, chili peppers, ginger, and lemongrass. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken strips to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Pour in the coconut milk and the remaining 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, lightly sauté the spinach with a pinch of salt until wilted.
Remove the lemongrass from the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the cauliflower rice topped with the chicken coconut curry, and side with sautéed spinach. Squeeze lime juice over the dish before serving.
