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
