Cauliflower "Rice" Pilaf - See Below
From: George Stella's Still Livin' Low Carb; A lifetime of Low Carb
Recipes
Rice Pilaf, featuring freshly grated cauliflower, has been one of the
Stella family's go-to sidekicks for years now, since they have a tendency
to crave familiar foods. Make this dish one of your favorites, too!
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 small head cauliflower
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp chopped yellow onion
1/4 tsp minced fresh garlic
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Place the slivered almonds in a large skillet over medium heat to toast.
Shake the pan every 30 seconds or so to redistribute almonds, just until
they are golden brown and smell fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove
almonds from pan and set aside.
Using the largest holes of a cheese grater, grate the head of cauliflower
(as you would cheese). A food processor with a grating blade will also
work. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion, garlic, and grated cauliflower to the skillet and saute
for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the chicken broth and all remaining ingredients, and simmer for about
9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender. Stir in
toasted almonds and serve with a slotted spoon.
Helpful Hints - -
It's completely normal for there to be extra liquid in the pan when this
is finished. Use a slotted spoon to drain it as you serve.
