Cauliflower Coriander Rice

Here is a great alternative to rice and it tastes wonderful. With all my intolerance  for certain foods I have also steered away from grains. I find the best substitute for rice, sushi etc is either cauliflower, parsnips or quinoa. Cauliflower is the closest you can get, and all it requires is a quick blend in a food processor or blender. It can be eaten either raw or dry fried to remove some of the moisture. Serve it with some tempeh for a burrito bowl!


Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that packs a wallop of health benefits as well as being a great substitution for heavier veggies such as potato. This nutrition packed flowering vegetable is a great source of Vitamin C, and manganese, both of which are powerful antioxidants. It also contains carotenoids, reducing the risks of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. It contains detoxifying properties, helping to support the liver's abilities to neutralize toxins, and is a great digestive support, being rich in dietary fiber while helping to lower cholesterol levels.

Hi there,

Can black eyed peas/cowpeas be used instead of the coriander?

Thanks

use a herb like parsley instead, if you want to add any sort of peas or lentils to the rice you can do that too after, maybe not blend it with the cauliflower but mix it together after :)

    Carl Gustave Jung

    I'm Binny, a full time Bikram Yoga teacher and studio owner that lives in Perth, Australia.

    I started this blog to share the things I love the best in the world: being healthy and happy, food (especially raw), yoga, traveling and most importantly, learning how to love and be true to myself.

    I suffered from severe digestive problems when I was younger, being gluten and lactose intolerant, and developed compartment syndrome and fibromyalgia in my teens. I have lived with constant pain for over 16 years now.

    Over the past 10 years, I've shifted to a mainly plant based diet and realised that being well and healthy is a way of life. I have been teaching Bikram yoga since 2011, in the US and Australia. Due to my health issues I've also had a lot of bodywork done as well as explored alternative therapies.

    I've become much more aware of myself as a result of all this - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Right now I love my life. In my career I love what I do and I do what I love. I have traveled to some amazing places around the world and made lifelong friends. In between working and traveling, I cook up a storm in the kitchen, especially raw  desserts, spend time with the people I love the best, which now includes a yoga husband, a mini yogini Estell, and our dog! I try to listen to my body the best I can.

    I truly believe that we all have the power and the capabilities to heal our own bodies, to nourish the spirit and seek our own happiness and life's purpose. This my journey...
