Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 wedge, for garnish lime
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into chunks and place the pieces into a food processor. Pulse until it resembles rice grains.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground turmeric, and ground cumin. Cook while stirring for another 1 minute to allow the spices to release their flavors.
Add the processed cauliflower rice to the skillet, mixing well with the onion and spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk, and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the cauliflower rice to absorb the flavors.
Once the cauliflower rice is tender, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime before serving.
Enjoy your Low Carb Cauliflower Rice with Curry as a standalone dish or pair it with grilled chicken or shrimp.
