    Cauliflower Rice
    Serves 1

    INGREDIENTS
    1 cauliflower head

    PREPARATION
    Remove all leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.

    Place the florets in a food processor and blend until they are a rice-like texture. Be careful not to over process or it may turn mushy. Set aside, and drain excess moisture with a towel, if desired.

    Sesame Chicken Fried “Rice”
    Serves 3-4

    INGREDIENTS
    1 chicken breast, diced

    2 cups peas & carrots

    2 tablespoons soy sauce

    2 teaspoons black pepper

    1 recipe cauliflower rice

    3 eggs, beaten

    2 tablespoons sesame seeds

    PREPARATION
    In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken until no pink is showing. Add the peas, carrots, soy sauce, and black pepper.

    Spread the rice towards the edge of the pan, creating a well in the center.

    Pour the beaten eggs into the well, stirring only the eggs until they are cooked.
