Ingredients

• 4 cups cauliflower rice
• 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
• 2 large fresh mangoes, sliced
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the mangoes. Peel and slice the mangoes into thin strips. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower rice and coconut milk. Stir well to ensure the cauliflower rice is thoroughly coated.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the cauliflower rice mixture for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice has absorbed most of the coconut milk and has softened to your liking.

Step 4

While the cauliflower rice is cooking, mix lime juice and coconut aminos in a small bowl. This will be your dressing for the 'sticky rice'.

Step 5

Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, remove it from heat and stir in the dressing. Add the sea salt and half of the shredded coconut to the cauliflower rice. Mix well.

Step 6

To serve, spoon a portion of the coconut cauliflower rice onto each plate. Arrange the sliced mangoes neatly on top or to the side of the rice.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut and toasted pepitas over each serving for added crunch and garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Whole30 Mango Sticky Rice!
