Cauli Rice - Coconut & Coriander
Saturday, 20 March 2010 02:36
I developed this to go with Thai and Indian dishes. I originally tried using coconut cream but the cauli doesn't absorb liquid so it ended up too sloppy. This worked really well! This is a generous "for one portion".
Ingredients
- 1/4 head of small-medium cauliflower
- 3T plain desiccated coconut
- Salt & pepper
- Small handful of fresh coriander leaves, pulled apart
- 2T butter
- Dash of olive oil
- 1t lemon juice
Method
- Put the cauli in the food whizz and pulse until it makes fine particles the size of rice
- Add the coconut to a dry pan on low heat and stir constantly until lightly golden and toasted (watch it as it's easy to overdo!). Remove.
- Add the butter and oil (to reduce the burning point of the butter)
- When sizzling add the cauli rice and reduce the heat, stirring well
- Cook over a low-medium heat until softening (I allow 10-15 mins max. with the odd stir)
- Season and taste
- Just before removing from pan to serve stir through the coriander leaves, coconut and lemon juice and mix in well
