A turmeric-based, not-spicy "curry" cauliflower rice that even people following the autoimmune protocol can enjoy.
Dana:
Serves: 4-6 side dishes
Ingredients
  • 1 small head cauliflower, riced*
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp AIP Curry Spice blend (recipe follows)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup olives
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
For the spice blend:
  • 1 ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cardamom**
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • (optional - AIP omit) fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • additional sea salt, to taste
Directions
  1. To rice the cauliflower, put it through the food processor with the shredding attachment. You could also use a box grater to do this or run a knife through chopped florets about...100 times.
  2. Heat a medium skillet with coconut oil over high heat. Once it’s hot, add the cauliflower and allow to cook down for about 5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon every so often. While it’s cooking, make your spice blend. This will make MORE than you need for the recipe - save the rest of that magic dust for later!
  3. Stir in 1 Tbsp of the spice blend and distribute it evenly over all the cauliflower. Sauté for about 3-5 more minutes.
  4. Add in the olives and continue to cook just until they’re warmed through, about one minute.
  5. Remove from the heat and garnish with parsley, plus additional salt and pepper, to taste (if you like).
  6. Enjoy!
Notes
Great served with my Turmeric & Spice Chicken Drumsticks.

**If you're on the strictest form of the AIP elimination phase, omit the cardamom. It is a berry-based spice, which is generally well-tolerated if you've reintroduced any foods on AIP.
