Cauliflower rice

We were given a beautiful big cauliflower last week and not wanting to make the same old boring cauliflower cheese (and having forgotten to buy anything for supper!) I experimented with cauliflower rice for the first time.

As an avid bootcamper who is trying to get her pre-baby bod back, I am always keen to try new vegetable based dishes and so many people have told me about cauliflower rice that I thought I would give it a go.

I used what I had in the house and the result was delicious:

Ingredients

• I head of cauliflower
• 1/2 an onion
• 2 tsp mixed spice (I would have used Garam Masala if I had had it)

1. Blitz the cauliflower head in a food processor until it is roughly the same size as rice
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and then add the mixed spice and heat for a couple of minutes on a low heat 
3. Fry the onion until soft and then add the cauliflower. Fry on a medium heat, stirring gently until the cauliflower is cooked and just starting to brown. It should still have some crunch to it

Served with fried halloumi and steamed green beans it was an oddly satisfying simple supper! The cauliflower rice was really delicious and will definitely be making another appearance on our table. This recipe served two.
