Cauliflower-Carrot Golden “Rice”
I had to check my Recipe Index several times to be sure that I hadn’t inundated you with cauliflower “rice” recipes only to surprise myself with the fact that there were none. I’ve been making cauliflower “rice” for a couple of years now but admittedly, most often without a recipe in the form of of fried rice, which is one of my go-to dinners when I’ve got a bunch of leftovers in the fridge that are begging to be repurposed.
To backtrack for anyone who somehow might be in the dark (this food trend is probably second only to avocado toast), cauliflower “rice” is florets that are pulverized to resemble grains of rice in size and texture. The “rice” is easily made in your food processor but has reached such an elevated star status, that you can most likely find riced cauliflower pre-made, fresh in the produce section of your supermarket or frozen in the freezer section. Time saving options, for sure.
This recipe for Cauliflower-Carrot Golden “Rice” from Domesticate ME! extends the ricing treatment to carrots and results in a beautifully hued, exotically seasoned side dish that is studded with sweet golden raisins and crunchy almonds. I can see bringing this dish to potluck dinners and serving it alongside grilled meats. Can you tell that I am ready for Spring? Speaking of which, I’ll be taking a break for Spring Break/Passover/Easter. Hope that you are, too. See you in April!
