Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, Greek yogurt, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
Heat a nonstick skillet (preferably one with a heavy bottom) over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the fats to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Spread the cauliflower rice mixture evenly across the pan and press down gently with a spatula to create a tight, flat layer.
Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and cook over medium-low heat for 20–25 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to allow the bottom to crisp and brown evenly.
After 20–25 minutes, carefully check the edges of the tadig with a spatula. If the bottom is golden and crispy, it is ready to flip.
Place a large, flat plate over the skillet. Holding the plate and skillet together, flip them quickly and carefully to transfer the tadig onto the plate with the crispy side facing up.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this low-carb twist on a Persian classic!
