I posted this in the "dinner" thread...But I changed it up. When I riced the 1/2 head of cauliflower, I added red pepper, egg, garlic, salt, and onion. I'm pressed it into a greased casserole dish and I'm baking it now. This idea came from the cauliflower pizza crust recipe, but it should turn out more like fine rice. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Riced Cauliflower W/Cilantro and Red Peppers

1/2 head of cauliflower
1 handful of cilantro leaves
1/2 of a red bell pepper
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 of a small yellow onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 large egg
Salt
Pepper

Rice 1/2 of these ingredients: cauliflower, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, & bell pepper by pulsing in food processor. Place mixture in medium bowl, and repeat process with other 1/2 of ingredients, then mix in cheddar cheese. Beat egg, and mix into cauliflower mixture. Press into greased casserole dish, and bake at 450 for approximately 20 minutes.

Serve a side dish. I thought of mine as a rice replacement.

Would this work without the cheese or is that what kind of holds it all together? Or maybe the egg will help.

I think the cheese and egg do hold it together. But I'm sure there is a dairy free alternative. Also, for me, I was looking at it as a rice substitute, so holding together wasn't important to me. I just love cheese!

Thanks for the info!

I made a delicious Asian salad tonight:

romaine lettuce
2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
cucumbers
carrots
cabbage
mint leaves
cilantro leaves
crushed red pepper flakes

It was similar to the filling in a summer roll but without the carbs of the roll. I actually made the roll part (thinking I'd make summer rolls), but decided that the filling would be tasty enough on it's own. It was!

Another dinner that turned out yummy

I roasted a mix of fresh vegetables:

asparagus, black olive, yellow and green squash, red onion, grape tomatoes, green and red bell peppers, and portobello mushrooms.

Before I put them in the oven I added olive oil spray, balsamic vinegar, curry, fresh rosemary, and garlic.

Then I "cooked" shirataku tofu "noodles" and added kimchi and a little EVOO.

When the veggies were done, I added them to the mix.

It was wonderful!
