Cauliflower Fried Rice
This is my favourite takeaway night replacement meal, or my go to when I have no idea what to cook and no time to think of something.
Cauliflower is a great alternative to rice, because it tastes delicious and there's no bloat! The texture of this vegetable is perfect as a rice alternative, it soaks up the flavours of the seasonings you add, and the best part is you don't have to wait for it to cook! winner!
This recipe is ridiculously easy that even my cooking illiterate husband can whip this up. The best part is you can add whatever veggies you have lying around in the crisper.
This meal has also been tested on my way too fussy toddler whom lives solely on bananas, bread and sausages. Any meal that allows me to trick him into eating some form of a vegetable is a winner in my eyes.
Give it a try, and have some fun with it, alter it to suit your taste buds!
