I’ve made this straightforward, but very worthy aspect dish, Mediterranean cauliflower rice two days in a row. Every time I modified the recipe a bit and and I’ll recommend some variations beneath.
The cauliflower rice is flavored with a contact of saffron (optionally available), turmeric, mushroom powder, thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper. Additions are peas and tomatoes, which add extra texture and colour.
The one ingredient although that I believe brings this house is the sliced toasted almonds. It brings a crunch and a taste that makes every chew excellent. I additionally assume golden raisins can be an ideal addition, however I didn’t have them readily available.
Initially use frozen cauliflower rice. Costco promote a model with 4 particular person luggage, that you would be able to both microwave or dry fry. I’ll clarify what dry fry is as a result of that’s how I made this recipe.
Methods to Cook dinner Frozen Cauliflower
My favourite technique is to plop the frozen cauliflower in scorching forged iron frying pan with only a contact of fats (both oil or butter). This technique provides you an opportunity to season the cauliflower, and make it much less mushy. Any water because of the freezing evaporates, which leads to an ideal texture.
