Instructions
-
Make the cauliflower rice by cutting the head of cauliflower in quarters and grating them on the largest setting of a box grater, trying not to grate too much of the stalk. Avoid using frozen cauliflower rice as it’s too watery, and pre-grated rice from the produce section is mostly stalks, not tender florets. Pre-heat a large pan with high sides over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and then add the onions along with ¼ teaspoon salt and a couple cracks of pepper. Cook for 6 minutes then add the garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 2 minutes then add the turmeric powder and mix well. Cook for 45 seconds then add the coconut milk and mix well. Bring the milk to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until it has reduced some. Add all the cauliflower rice along with ¼ teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper, mix very well. Place a lid, or sheet tray, on the pan and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes check to see if the cauliflower is done to your liking, if not, cook another 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the coconut flakes, nuts, parsley, and red chiles. Mix well, check for seasoning, and enjoy!
