THE BEST COCONUT CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Finely dice the onion, garlic and cauliflower. On medium heat, saute the onion in olive oil or coconut oil for a few minutes until translucent. I will often start sauteeing the onion, while I chop the cauliflower to save time.
• Add the cauliflower and garlic, season with salt and pepper and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times.
• Then, add the coconut cream (or thickened milk) and stir through. Cook for additional 1-2 minutes, bring the heat up at this stage. Coconut cream will melt into the cauliflower and create a bit of liquid in the pan. You want to cook it off so it evaporates/absorbs into the vegetable and 'toasts' a little bit. Once it feels like most of it has been absorbed, turn off the heat.
• Garnish with some chives or spring onions (scallions) or coriander (cilantro).

THAI COCONUT RICE RECIPE

Serve in a dish or oil the inside of a teacup or metal mould, press the rice into it and tip it out onto a plate. Garnish with coriander.
