Ingredients


1 medium head Cauliflower (riced)
1/2 small White onion (finely chopped)
3 tbsp Coconut oil
2 clove(s) Garlic (finely minced)
2 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Chili powder
1 cup Chicken broth (stock)
1/2 cup Salsa, ready-to-serve
1 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions


To “rice” the cauliflower: If using a heavy duty blender like a Vita-Mix, chop the cauliflower into florets and put into the canister, add filtered water to cover cauliflower, turn on blender to low-med speed and wet-chop until the consistency of rice. Drain off the water. If you do not have a heavy duty blender, simply use a grater to grate the florets into “rice.”

Heat coconut oil in a non-toxic skillet until melted. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until soft.

Add cauliflower, cumin, chili powder, salt, chicken stock, and salsa. Simmer until most of the liquid is boiled off and the cauliflower is cooked through. (The finished product will be a little firmer than regular rice).

Add optional toppings if desired.

Notes:

Optional: chopped black olives, cilantro, organic cheese
