Ingredients
- 70 g red pepper - 1/2 small pepper
- 60 g peas
- 40 g baby corn - about 4
- 60 g green beans
- 450 g cauliflower rice - frozen is best - you can also use freshly grated cauliflower, but not from the shop's chiller
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 shallot
- 25 g extra virgin olive oil
- ½ stock cube - beef, chicken or veggie stock cube (crumbed)
- ¾ tsp fine himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 sprinkle white or black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- slice and dice pepper into small cubes.70 g red pepper
- top and tail green beans, cut them into thirds, boil them (together with peas if using frozen) for 2 minutes in salted water, drain and set aside; see Recipe Notes below.60 g green beans, 60 g peas
- slice baby corn.40 g baby corn
- chop or mince garlic and shallot, then add them to a wok or similar pan, together with the oil; simmer over gentle heat for 2-3 minutes to soften, then tip in cauliflower rice straight out of the freezer, turn heat up to high and stir.1 clove garlic, 1 shallot, 25 g extra virgin olive oil, 450 g cauliflower rice
- when cauliflower rice has cooked for 5 minutes and softened throughout (you need to stir almost constantly to help the moisture escape) add everything else and keep cooking for another 10-12 minutes or so, on high heat and stirring regularly; to avoid ending up with soggy 'rice', keep cooking and stirring until you hear it crackling.½ stock cube, ¾ tsp fine himalayan pink salt, 1 sprinkle white or black pepper, ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- taste, adjust seasoning, and set aside to cool slightly and release yet more steam, before serving with your favourite meat or fish.
Notes
All weights are for net (topped/tailed/de-seeded) vegetables.
Don't leave the cauliflower at room temperature to defrost or you'll end up with soggy rice.
No need to pre-boil peas and green beans if you prefer a crunchier texture.
If you dislike onions and/or garlic, slice them and soften them in the oil for 2-3 minutes, then discard them - this will infuse the oil and add flavour without the full-on taste of them.
Unless otherwise indicated, use Metric Kitchen Scales to measure ingredients accurately (U.S. option HERE).
