Craving Mexican?


I love Mexican food, in fact I think it just might be my favorite! I had a craving for some Spanish Rice the other day, but alas Cavemen don't eat rice... This is where the very versatile cauliflower came in to play. This Spanish "Rice" is so good and if you served it to non-Paleo eating people I don't think they would ever know its not really rice!

1 Lg Head cauliflower
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1/2 Red onion
4 Cloves garlic
1 Sm. can green chilies
1 Tbsp Cumin
2 tsp Chili powder
1 28 oz Can diced tomatoes
1/2 C Cilantro- Chopped

"Rice" your cauliflower by putting it through the grater attachment on your food processor. In a sauce pan saute your onion and garlic until the onions are soft. Add your cauliflower and cover with the lid for about 5 minutes or until your cauliflower is slightly soft but still holds its form. Add your spices, green chilies and the can of tomatoes including the juice cook for a few minutes more and add your cilantro right before serving.

(p.s. Make extra rice and taco meat you can turn it into a completely different meal- details to follow soon)
