Seasonal local food recipe No.271 – Cauliflower ‘rice’

Cauliflower rice or couscous is in vogue at the moment as a low carb alternative.  Charlotte, the CSA publicity officer, was planning to have this with a chilli last night.  Recipe from BBC Good Food.

Serves 4

Preparation time: 3 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes

Ingredients
1 medium cauliflower
Good handful coriander leaves, chopped
Cumin seeds, toasted (optional)

Method
Cut the hard core and stalks from the cauliflower and pulse the rest in a food processor to make grains the size of rice.  Tip into a heatproof bowl, cover with clingfilm, then pierce and microwave for 7 minutes on high – there is no need to add any water.  Stir in the coriander.  For spicier rice, add some toasted cumin seeds.
