Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g cauliflower rice Birds Eye
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 red onion finely sliced
  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 carrot grated
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon juiced (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place frozen Birds Eye Cauliflower Rice in a microwave safe dish. Cook uncovered on HIGH for 5 minutes, stirring halfway. Remove excess moisture from Cauliflower Rice (see TIP).
  2. Melt the butter in a non stick frypan over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and sauté for 5 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer into a serving bowl.
  3. Using the same fry pan, add red onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add almonds and raisins and cook for another 2 minutes until nuts are toasted and raisins have softened. Add mixture to the cauliflower rice along with the grated carrot and toss to combine.
  4. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice, if desired.

Notes

TIP: Ensure as much of the moisture is removed from the Cauliflower Rice by firmly pressing in a sieve. Alternatively, place in a clean chux or tea towel, twist and squeeze.
