Cauliflower Fried Rice

 

Serves 2 to 4.
By Dennis W. Viau; modified from a cookbook recipe.

This rice substitute works well in a keto diet. It is low in carbohydrates, only 1 net gram per serving (according to the author of the cookbook). The flavor and texture are excellent, making this suitable for recipes that call for plating “on a bed a rice.” I like it best with my sautéed lamb.

Ingredients:

3 cups (12 oz./340g) cauliflower florets
2 (or more) tablespoons olive oil, clarified butter or ghee
½ cup (70g) chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons wheat-free tamari or soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
Small pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large egg, well beaten
Salt to taste, if needed

Directions:

Place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it resembles grains of rice.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.

Add the riced cauliflower, tamari, optional fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the egg and stir until the egg is completely cooked, about 3 minutes. Adjust for seasoning.

Can be used for foods “served on a bed rice.”
