Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into florets and placing them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice, then set aside.
Chop the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and dice the carrot and bell pepper.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing them to toast slightly with the onion mixture for about 1 minute.
Add the diced carrot and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking until they soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the riced cauliflower and green peas, mixing them thoroughly with the spices and vegetables.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Cook the cauliflower rice mixture for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and stir in freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
