Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Shallots
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 pieces Lime leaves
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

First, prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and cutting it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they become rice-like grains, being careful not to over-process.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic cloves. Thinly slice the shallots.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the turmeric powder, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped ginger, garlic, and sliced shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the shallots become translucent.

Step 5

Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring well to coat the grains with the turmeric mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and water, and then add the lime leaves, bay leaves, ground coriander, and salt. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 8

Remove and discard the lime leaves and bay leaves before serving.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with more salt if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish or with your preferred Paleo-friendly protein.
