Cauliflower Rice

I’ve never been a big fan of cauliflower as something other than cauliflower. Since I can’t tolerate the carbs in real rice, if I am having something which would usually be served over rice, I now make a Keto Naan to soak up the sauces. I fridge/freeze leftovers for later. Here’s one recipe.

Pasted from my fb post about it...
Celeriac pilau rice.
Found a bag of this celeriac “rice” for 39p on the benefits buffet in Waitrose last night, and despite loathing the taste of celery with a passion, bought it anyway. The raw chunks didn’t taste of anything much, so RESULT!
I melted a dollop of coconut oil in the pot and softened finely diced red onion. I added cumin, coriander, chilli flakes, pilau rice seasoning, cardamom pods, saffron and a couple of bay leaves and fried that for a few minutes before adding the celeriac and 300ml of veg stock. I simmered that for about ten minutes, until the celeriac was softened but still had a bit of bite - like rice. There was a bit of liquid left that hadn’t boiled off, so I’ll add less next time. I took it off with a ladle and drank it...

Asda do Cauliflower Rice in 300gram tubs for £0.90 (as opposed to Caulirice packs in a 250g sachet for £2.00). They also do Brocolli Rice at £0.90 for 300g. They are both in the vegetable section (next to the ready prepared stir fry stuff) rather than in the rice and pasta isle. They both microwave in 4 minutes and, mixed together, 600g is about 10g of carbs. Perfect with a curry or chilli, and it makes a perfect kedgeree (just sprinkle a little extra olive oil into the mixture).
Ok it's not rice but it has a good flavour on its own, and soaks up those curry juices something lovely

Also Tesco do carrot spaghetti in 300gram tubs for £1 in the vegetable section (next to the ready prepared stir fry stuff) it microwaves in 4 minites. It's really filling and I can only just get through two packs in one sitting. It's surprisingly low carb - 300g is about 10g of carbs (I think), and it goes perfectly with a Bolognese sauce (and it winds around your fork just like real spaghetti).
Ok it's not pasta but as a LCHF of nearly two years standing, how else am I going to enjoy a huge bowl of spag bol?
Marvellous
P.S. I just bought a manual spiralizer for about a quid so from now in I can make the carrot spag myself for less than half the cost.

Be very careful with your spiraliser. Those blades are extremely sharp and can lead to a much blood and sterstrips.

For those who like cauliflower there is a really nice recipe for soup on the Diet Doctor website. I make it to take for lunch at work. I have adapted the recipe by using cheese rather than cream cheese as I found it a little salty with it but with normal cheese it is delicious.
