Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice if it isn't already. You can make it at home by processing cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower rice with the coconut milk, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well to combine.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice becomes tender and the coconut milk has been mostly absorbed. This should take about 15 minutes.
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, peel the mangoes and cut them into thin slices or cubes, whichever you prefer for the presentation.
Once the cauliflower rice is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
To serve, divide the cauliflower rice into bowls or plates. Arrange the sliced mangoes on top or beside the 'rice'.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately, enjoying this delicious Paleo-friendly twist on mango sticky rice.
