Cauliflower rice with pumpkin seeds

Published

Jump to recipe

Essentially a side dish but I often have this as a lunch on its own. Since turmeric is so good for us, we’re always trying to find tasty ways to add it to meals and this is just perfect, giving this otherwise simple dish a real punch.

Serves 1–2

Ingredients

  • 400g/14 oz cauliflower, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lucy Bee coconut oil
  • 60g/scant 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder
  • Himalayan salt and ground black pepper

Method

  1. Blitz the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice (or finely chop it using a knife).

  2. Melt the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cauliflower, pumpkin seeds and turmeric and fry, stirring constantly, for 5–10 minutes or until cooked. Season and serve.

Tips and notes

Add chilli flakes to spice things up, if you like.

Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.

These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
