Description

Ingredients

• 1 medium to large head of cauliflower
• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• ¼ tsp. salt(more to taste)
• ½ tsp. dried parsley
• optional seasonings to play with:
• ¼ tsp. cumin (or find on Amazon)
• ¼ tsp. turmeric (or find on Amazon)
• ¼ tsp. paprika
• fresh cilantro
• lime wedges (or lime juice)

Directions

• Wash cauliflower and trim off the leaves. Usually this means youll chop it into a few large pieces.
• Put all the pieces into the steamer insert in an Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker).
• Pour one cup water under the cauliflower and steamer basket.
• Close and lock the lid. Make sure the valve is closed.
• Set on manual for one minute. (It will take about 10 minutes to get up to pressure.)
• After the cook timer beeps, open the valve to quick-release the pressure. (This takes about 2 minutes.)
• Remove the cauliflower to a plate.
• Pour out the water in the pot.
• Return the pot to the cooker and press cancel, then the saute button.
• Add the oil to the pot, then the cooked cauliflower.
• Break up with a potato masher.
• Add desired spices while stirring and heating. Salt and parsley makes a pretty basic cauli rice ready for any saucy dish on top.
• Use the optional spices and serve with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a delicious cilantro lime version, or try your own! You can shake a few seasonings in, taste it, and keep trying things.
• Serve warm with any main dish. (Be sure to turn the saute function off once the seasonings are mixed through and youve toasted the cauli rice a bit. You dont want it to burn and theres no low on an Instant Pot!)
