Cauliflower Rice Skeptic

I can’t be the only person who thinks cauliflower tastes a little like a fart...amiright?  After seeing a lot of cauliflower hype (if you can even call it that) on Pinterest and Instagram I reluctantly grabbed a bag at Walmart for $2.97. After staring at it in the fridge for the last few days and having no clue what the hell to make with it, I decided to make fried “rice” for lunch. I used the recipe on the back of the bag with a few minor tweaks and it ended up being DELISH and I'm not just saying that like most people do about kale chips - it was actually really tasty!). It only took 10 minutes from start to finish - perfecto. I honestly couldn’t even tell that there was cauliflower in the recipe and a serving is 1-2 smart points! I will 100% use the recipe again and will be experimenting with some new recipes in the weeks to come. Hope you like this as much as I did. Enjoy!

Yield: 3 large servings 

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup grated carrot

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cloves minced garlic

1 bag cauliflower rice (2 1/2 cups)

1/2 cup peas (frozen or fresh)

2 tablespoons soy sauce 

2 eggs lightly beaten 

Salt & pepper to taste 

*add two chicken breasts to bulk this up for no added smart points!  

Method 

In a large fry pan over medium heat, heat olive oil. If using chicken add raw cubes now and cook through, about 8-10 mins. Add onion, carrot and garlic and cook for 2 mins. Add cauliflower, peas and soy sauce. Cook for 3 more mins, stirring a few times (make sure the cauliflower is heated through). Turn heat to high and push all “rice” to one side of pan. Pour eggs into other side, season entire dish with salt and pepper then scrabble eggs until cooked, about 2 mins. Mix together and serve. Sooooo good!
