INGREDIENTS
1 Head of cauliflower
Salt and pepper
Italian mixed herbs
Olive oil
1 Tablespoon of butter
INSTRUCTIONS
• Grate or finely chop the cauliflower so that it resembles grains of rice (Use a grater or an electric vegetable chopper / blender)
• Wrap the raw cauliflower in a clean dish towel and squeeze out any excess water
• Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil
• Add the cauliflower
• With a fork, toss through the mixed herbs with the cauliflower until evenly spread out in the pan
• Put the lid on and turn down the heat
• Cook for about 5-6 minutes. Cauliflower should still have a slight crunchy texture to it.
• Once cooked, remove the lid, and fork through the butter and add the salt and pepper to taste.
VARIATIONS
1. Yellow rice for curries: Add a teaspoon of turmeric to the cauliflower.
