Cauliflower Fried Rice With Turmeric, Ginger + Tamari Roasted Almonds
What's great about it
This cauliflower fried rice is one of my favourite meals to make at home and it takes around 5 minutes to create. My secret is to use a generous amount of anti-inflammatory aromatics. Ginger and turmeric are king and take centre stage in the beginning of creating this wonderful meal. Cauliflower is also rich in sulphur that works as an anti-inflammatory. It also supports healthy digestion and boosts your immune system. Parsley, mint and coriander help to stimulate digestive function and support the liver to detoxify the body. I like to use avocado oil for this recipe as it has a higher smoke point compared to other oils.

Serves 4
1 medium cauliflower
6 leaves, finely shredded kale

Method

- Add ginger, turmeric and coriander root then stir fry for a few seconds until aromatics are released.
