Cauliflower and Broccoli Rice

So I'm sure plenty of you have discovered cauliflower rice by now. But for me it was new. After one taste the whole family was hooked! Both Nick and Ellie are not too fond of normal rice, so on this journey I am discovering other substitutes, that are better for us and also in many ways taste better! Win win!!

So my daughter Ellie is not a huge fan of cauliflower. She LOVES broccoli however(I know... odd child). So when she saw me shedding it into the cauliflower she was ecstatic. she stood by my side almost the whole time I was making the food wondering every other second whether dinner was ready... yeah... it was ever so slightly annoying ;-)... I don't know who was more excited that dinner was ready!!! She then proceeded to eat the lot! Loved it! 

This is a good way of getting more of your sulfur rich vegetables into your diet as well (according to the Terry Wahls protocol. It is is good in every way! Maybe ever so slightly more expensive than buying rice, but I recon on par with using quinoa for example.

Cauliflower and Broccoli Rice

- 1 Cauliflower head (shredded)
- 1 Broccoli head (shredded)
- splash of Olive oil
- Lemon or Lime juice 
- 1-2 colves of Garlic
- Parsley
- Salt

So if you are not avoiding saturated fat and heated unstable oils then you can heat this on the stove on high heat, browning it slightly before serving it immediately. But if you are like me and all other OMSers out there having to avoid saturated fat and not being allowed to heat our oils to high, I recommend mixing all these ingredients together(making sure they are evenly dispersed) in a baking dish and heating in the oven on 220 Celcius. Cooking times vary, but I had it in for about 20 min. Serve immediately and eat with desired sauce.

I recently got a veeeery nice ceramic frying pan that does not require any fat. So I made this on the stove with no fat and it tasted great! Just do what you would usually do, browning the garlic then adding the "rice" browning that, then adding the lemon/lime, salt, pepper and Parsley.

While making dinner today I wanted something simple so I just added a can of chickpeas, a can of artichoke hearts, zucchini, shrimps and a liiittle bit of sambal oelek. and it tasked great. You can add anything really and get your own version of Paella ;-)! 


 
Good Luck!
