Serves6

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower, trimmed into florets (about 5 cups)
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 3/4 cup of onion, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon of garlic, finely minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Use a food processor to pulse cauliflower and coconut until the mixture resembles grains of rice. You will need to do this in batches.

  2. In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan, over medium-high heat, cook the olive oil, onions, and garlic until fragrant.

  3. Stir in the cauliflower/coconut mixture, sesame oil, and salt. Toss over medium-high heat, stirring and cooking only until the mixture is warm. This should take about five minutes.

  4. Use in place of rice to serve with any dish.
