Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 2 leaves pandan leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
Step 2
Peel and smash the garlic cloves. Trim and slightly bruise the lemongrass stalk to release its oils.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the garlic, lemongrass, bay leaves, and pandan leaves to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until aromatic.
Step 5
Stir in the cauliflower rice, mixing well to coat it with the aromatic oils.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Add salt and stir to combine everything evenly.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Discard the lemongrass, bay leaves, and pandan leaves before serving.
Step 10
Serve the Paleo Nasi Uduk warm alongside your favorite paleo-friendly dishes.
