Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 head (2 to 2 1/4 pounds) cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup yellow onion, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro (to garnish)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Rinse your cauliflower. Slice it in half down the middle, then slice each half again along the stem. Hold the quarter of a cauliflower upright and slice off the stem; this should separate the florets. Chop them roughly into 1 or 2 inch pieces.

  • Step 2: Place half or 1/3 of the cauliflower (depending on how big it is) into a food processor with the blade attachment. Pulse in one-second intervals until the cauliflower pieces are about the size of grains of rice, more or less. Repeat with remaining cauliflower. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a grater.

  • Step 3: In a large non-stick skillet, heat butter and olive oil on medium heat. When it is hot, add the onions, and stir occasionally for 5-8 minutes, or until tender. Add garlic and rosemary and cook an additional 2 minutes.

  • Step 4: Add "riced" cauliflower and stir in, and cook till tender, 5-8 minutes.

  • Step 5: While it cooks, season with cumin, turmeric, ginger, cloves, salt and pepper. None of these measurements or even the spices themselves are hard and fast--go with what sounds good to you.

  • Step 6: Remove from heat and add chopped cilantro to taste.
