HOW TO MAKE CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Wash and thoroughly dry cauliflower, then remove all greens.
• If using a box grater, cut the cauliflower into large chunks and use the medium-sized holes (see photo - the side commonly used to grate cheese), to grate into "rice." If using a food processor, cut into small pieces and use the grater attachment to grate the cauliflower into "rice."
• Optional: Transfer to a clean towel or paper towel and press to remove any excess moisture, which can make your dish soggy.
• Once you have your cauliflower rice, it's easy to cook (or enjoy raw)! Simply sauté in a large skillet over medium heat in 1 Tbsp oil. Cover with a lid so the cauliflower steams and becomes more tender. Cook for a total of 5-8 minutes, then season as desired (such as with soy sauce or salt and pepper).
• Use cauliflower rice in recipes that call for rice, such as stir fries or fried rice! Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Store uncooked cauliflower rice in the freezer up to 1 month.

HEALTHY CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Trim the cauliflower florets, cutting away as much stem as possible. In 3 batches, break up the florets into a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles couscous.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. At the first wisp of smoke from the oil, add the onions, and stir to coat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown at the edges and have softened, about 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower, and stir to combine. Add 1 teaspoon salt, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower has softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Spoon the cauliflower into a large serving bowl, garnish with the parsley, sprinkle with the lemon juice and season to taste with salt. Serve warm.

CRISPY BROWN RICE AND CAULIFLOWER WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, pulse the cauliflower until the mixture has the consistency of rice.
• Set a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat to shimmering. Add the brown rice, cauliflower rice, turmeric and cayenne and stir to combine, then shake the skillet to spread the mixture out into an even layer. Cook, without stirring, until the bottom gets crispy, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the garlic and ginger across the top and season with a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper. Remove from the heat, stir in the scallions and set aside.
• Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat to shimmering. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites begin to brown around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add the cilantro and season with a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper. Remove from the heat, add 1 tablespoon water, cover and let steam for 30 seconds for runny yolks, 1 minute for medium-set yolks and 1 1/2 minutes for fully set yolks.
• Place the brown rice and cauliflower on a plate, top with the eggs and serve with a lime wedge and hot sauce.
• Make the brown rice: Fill a large pot with 10 cups water and bring to a boil. Add 2 cups brown rice and a couple pinches of salt and cook at a gentle boil, covered, for 30 minutes. Drain the rice and return it to the pot. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork. Spread the rice out on a sheet pan and let cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Cooked brown rice will last up to 3 days in the fridge.
