Cauliflower Fried Rice With Turmeric, Ginger + Tamari Roasted Almonds

Cauliflower Fried Rice With Turmeric, Ginger + Tamari Roasted Almonds

This cauliflower fried rice is one of my favourite meals to make at home and it takes around 15 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.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4

1 medium cauliflower

6 leaves, finely shredded kale

1 tablespoon cold pressed avocado oil or coconut oil

2 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

2 tablespoons fresh grated turmeric or 1 generous teaspoon of dry turmeric

2 bunches coriander, stem and leaves chopped separately

Splash of coconut water or water

1 green chilli, sliced (optional )

1 lime

6 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped

1 bunch parsley, chopped

1 bunch mint, chopped

2 handfuls Tamari Roasted Almonds - roughly chopped

1 tbsp tamari soy sauce

1 tbsp mirin

2 organic eggs

METHOD

Chop the cauliflower into small pieces and place into a food processor.

Process until it looks like white rice. If you don't have a food processor, you can also do this on a hand grater.

Heat the avocado oil in a pan over a medium to high heat.

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

Add the cauliflower and kale and stir fry for a few minutes until hot and fragrant.

Deglaze the pan and add a splash of coconut water or water to the pan.

Add 2 beaten organic eggs and mix through.

Add spring onion, coriander, parsley, mint, tamari and mirin.

Fold through tamari almonds and pumpkin seeds. Squeeze over a little lime.

Serve alone or with a side of kimchi, or steamed white fish.
