Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 inch, grated Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 stalk, lightly crushed Lemongrass
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 2 small, finely chopped Shallots

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets and process in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Avoid over-processing into a powder.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the processed cauliflower rice to the pan and stir to combine with the shallot mixture.

Step 6

Pour the coconut milk and chicken broth into the pan, mixing everything well.

Step 7

Stir in the turmeric powder, bay leaf, lemongrass stalk, and salt.

Step 8

Adjust heat to medium-low and cover the pan with a lid. Let it simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf and lemongrass stalk before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or under a protein like grilled chicken or fish.
