Cauliflower Fried Rice

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil), divided

2 large eggs, beaten

2 cloves minced garlic 

1/4 cup diced onion

1/2 cups peas (frozen would work)

Method

Making the Cauliflower Rice

-Cut the cauliflower into florets. Wash and dry. Place in a food processor ( work in batches) and pulse 6-7 times, until the cauliflower gets the texture of couscous- don't over process

This should yield about 6 cups of cauliflower rice

-Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil (sesame or olive oil) in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the beaten eggs, let them cook for 1 minute, then scramble  them, cook for 1-2 minutes- remove from the skillet and set aside

-Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, don't let them burn.  Add the carrots and peas and cook 2 -3 minutes more.

-Add the cauliflower rice.  Turn heat to medium-high and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add the Tamari or soy sauce; add the eggs, and cook for 1 minute more, then the rice to a bowl. Top with scallions and sesame seeds.
