Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, Greek yogurt, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
Step 2
Heat a nonstick skillet (preferably one with a heavy bottom) over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the fats to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
Spread the cauliflower rice mixture evenly across the pan and press down gently with a spatula to create a tight, flat layer.
Step 4
Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and cook over medium-low heat for 20–25 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to allow the bottom to crisp and brown evenly.
Step 5
After 20–25 minutes, carefully check the edges of the tadig with a spatula. If the bottom is golden and crispy, it is ready to flip.
Step 6
Place a large, flat plate over the skillet. Holding the plate and skillet together, flip them quickly and carefully to transfer the tadig onto the plate with the crispy side facing up.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this low-carb twist on a Persian classic!
