HOW TO COOK THE BEST BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER RICE



How to cook the best broccoli and cauliflower rice image

Provided by Jo Harding

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head broccoli ((350g florets))
1 medium cauliflower ((350g florets))
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tbsp coconut or extra virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion ((optional))
2 cloves garlic ((optional))
2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp coconut aminos
Pink Himalayan or sea salt, or to taste
30 g parsley, chopped
1 medium avocado
1 - 2 tbsp olive oil (if not adding the dressing)

Steps:

  • Remove the stem and leaves from the broccoli and cauliflower. Chop into chunks and blitz in a food processor using the S blade until they resemble a rice consistency.
  • Place the broccoli and cauliflower rice in a metal steamer in 1cm of water and cook for 3 - 5 minutes (or microwave on medium/ high for 3 - 5 minutes) until soft. You may need to do this in batches.
  • Allow to cool slightly and transfer to a muslin cloth or clean thin tea towel. Squeeze out the excess water. This is the magic step that will make your veggie rices fluffy!
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, or coconut oil in a pan. Add the veggie rices (you can use all cauliflower or all broccoli if you prefer, just make sure it's the same weight) and fry for 1 further minute. Fluff up with a fork and mix well. Season to taste.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add the onions, saute on a medium/ low heat for 3 - 4 minutes until soft. Add the garlic for a further 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir through the broccoli or cauliflower rice, or mix of. Season to taste.
  • Stir all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle, as much to taste, over your broccoli and cauliflower rice and top with optional fresh parsley and avocado.

Tips:

  • Prep the veggies in advance: Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into florets, and mince the garlic and ginger. This will save you time when you're ready to cook.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the veggies plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the veggies brown and caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the veggies in batches if necessary, to avoid steaming them.
  • Season the veggies with salt and pepper to taste: Add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, if desired.
  • Stir-fry the veggies for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp: The exact cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the veggies.
  • Serve the stir-fried veggies immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
