Equipment

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
3 Garlic Cloves
1 Cauliflower Medium Head
1/4 Cup Coconut Shreds Toasted
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
Salt and Pepper
Lime Juice - optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Fully clean a whole large head of cauliflower and cut out all the leaves and the middle stem. Chop the raw cauliflower head into smaller pieces. Place fresh cauliflower florets into your blender and add water to submerge fully. Switch your blender or food processor and pulse a few times. Watch how the cauliflower gets transformed into tiny pieces like rice in seconds. Pour the whole mixture through the sieve and let the rice dry.
Prepare all of the ingredients for making our delicious dish. Regarding the coconut shreds, you can also use toasted, which makes your meal even crunchier. If you use frozen cauliflower rice, let it thaw for a few hours.
Start by heating two tablespoons of coconut oil in a skillet over the stove. Into the skillet, add crushed garlic, and roast slightly. Add the cauliflower rice and saute for 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat.
Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the coconut milk and cook on medium-high heat. As an option, you can also add a bit of lime juice and lime zest.
Once the milk has evaporated, switch the heat off and add the coconut shreds raw or toasted. Mix thoroughly and serve.

Notes

Cauliflower rice - I have used 2 cups of cauliflower rice for the recipe. You can freeze extra leftover coconut rice for the future. Just add the cauliflower rice into ziplock bags.

Coconut milk - it is best to use full-fat coconut milk.
Coconut cream - the cream can be used instead of milk for a thicker and more intense coconut flavor. If you use canned coconut milk or cream, shake the can before opening it.
