Frozen cauliflower rice is a staple in my house. It’s the perfect base or side dish for quick and easy weeknight meals because it takes less than 15 minutes to make and is a blank slate for flavours, just add herbs, spices or a sauce and you’re good to go. Also, extra vegetables are always welcome. This low-carb coconut cauliflower rice is hands down my favourite basic cauliflower rice recipe because the richness of the coconut milk makes it more substantial. To this version, I added coriander and lime but if you’re not a coriander person, simply omit it! The coconut cauliflower rice will still be satisfying and versatile. In another life, I made my own cauliflower rice. You can totally do this (it’s easy!), but now I usually buy frozen cauliflower rice to save time. You can find cauliflower rice in the freezer aisle of most supermarkets. I like to use full fat coconut milk in this recipe. Use this coconut cauliflower rice wherever you’d use regular rice.
