Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium head cauliflower, stem removed
3 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 cup frozen mixed peas and carrots, thawed
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving, optional
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced (I used a rotisserie chicken)
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until coarse in texture, like rice. This recipe uses about 4 cups of cauliflower rice. If you have any leftover, save it for another use.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the canola oil. Add the eggs and quickly scramble. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the peas and carrots, scallions and cauliflower. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • As the vegetables are cooking, whisk the soy sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Stir the sauce and chicken into the cauliflower mixture. Cook an additional minute or 2. Stir the cooked eggs back into the mixture. Serve with hot sauce and additional soy sauce if desired.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 in (2.5 cm) pieces
2 ½ teaspoons Gourmet Garden™ Garlic Stir-In Paste
1 teaspoon Gourmet Garden™ Jalapeño Stir-In Paste
kosher salt
¾ teaspoon McCormick ground turmeric
1 lemon, zested
2 ½ teaspoons olive oil
1 cauliflower, small head
4 teaspoons olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, small diced
½ teaspoon McCormick ground cardamom
1 teaspoon McCormick ground coriander
½ teaspoon McCormick ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon McCormick Ground Cinnamon
kosher salt, to taste
⅓ cup pomegranate seeds, plus more for garnish
¼ cup pistachio, shelled
⅓ cup dried apricot, diced into ¼-inch (6 mm) pieces
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the garlicky chicken: In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the Gourmet Garden™ Garlic Stir-In Paste, Gourmet Garden™ Jalapeño Stir-In Paste, a generous sprinkle of salt, turmeric, and lemon zest until well coated. Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prep the cauliflower rice: Cut the cauliflower into quarters. Grate each quarter on the large holes of a box grater over a large bowl, stopping short of the core. The cauliflower should be broken down into small pieces the size of rice grains.
  • Once the chicken has marinated, heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in an even layer and sear on all sides, until cooked through, 7-8 minutes total. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Make the cauliflower rice: Heat the olive oil in a wide nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the cardamom, coriander, cumin, and cinnamon. Let the spices sizzle for 1 minute, until fragrant. Season with salt.
  • Increase the heat to high and add the cauliflower rice. Stir to combine, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes, until the cauliflower rice is tender and lightly browned in places. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Stir in the pomegranate seeds, pistachios, dried apricots, pine nuts, and scallions. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary.
  • Serve the chicken over the cauliflower rice and garnish with more pomegranate seeds and scallions.
  • Enjoy!
