Cauliflower 'rice' pilaf

2.0 / 5 FROM 1

If you’ve never tried raw cauliflower “rice’’, you’ll be astounded how delicious, fresh and healthy it is. The dates, preserved lemon, Sicilian olives, herbs and pistachios create incredible bursts of flavour. This salad is perfect alongside meat and fish but is just as wonderful as a stand-alone dish. This recipe is from Kelly Gibney and it appears in Bronwyn Kan's book Whole: Recipes for Simple Wholefood Eating. Check out more from Kelly on her blog bonniedelicious.com, and have a look at some of the other contributors here.

Ingredients

½ small Cauliflower
6 Medjool dates, fresh
½ Preserved lemon, finely diced
½ cup Green olives, Sicilian, pitted and sliced
1 handful Fresh mint, a large handful, roughly chopped
1 handful Parsley, a generous handful, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp Thyme leaves
1 Avocado, ripe but still firm, cut into cubes
⅓ cup Pistachio nuts, roughly chopped

Dressing

1 Lemon, juiced
¼ cup Olive oil
1 Garlic clove, finely diced
1 tsp Maple syrup, heaped, use a pure maple syrup, or use coconut sugar

Directions

  1. Blitz the cauliflower in a food processor until it has a rice like texture. Set aside.
  2. Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously until emulsified. Season with sea salt and crushed black pepper.
  3. Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing on top and toss through until well-coated and evenly combined. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Garnish with extra herbs and roughly chopped pistachionuts before serving immediately.
