1 Whole Carrot, Chopped
1 TBSP Tamari (Gluten Free Soy Sauce)
1 TBSP Olive Oil
1/2 TSP Sesame Oil

In a food processor, "rice" cauliflower florets. Pulse gently so that the cauliflower turns into little rice looking pieces. Do not puree cauliflower. 

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. 
Cook garlic, green onions, peas and carrots for about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't burn. 
When mixture is soft and aromatic, add cauliflower "rice"
Add Sesame Oil and Tamari.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Serve hot and enjoy! xx

  1. I don't have a food processor but used a cheese grater last week to achieve the same texture to make cauliflower tabouli, which was great with a little chopped chicken and stuffed in a hollowed out cucumber boat!
