Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 3 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head. Cut the cauliflower into smaller florets and rinse thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until the texture resembles that of rice. Be careful not to over-process to avoid a mushy texture.

Step 3

Prepare the nori seaweed by cutting the sheets into small strips using a pair of kitchen scissors. Set aside.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green onions. Peel the ginger and finely grate it.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, and grated ginger, sautéing for about 2 minutes until they are fragrant and softened.

Step 7

Increase the heat to high and add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes or until the rice is tender but still has a bite to it.

Step 8

Stir in the nori seaweed strips, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is mixed well and the seaweed is warmed through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Rice with Seaweed hot as a nutritious side dish or a light main course.
