Budget-friendly and supremely healthy, this vegetarian cauliflower rice dish is a great way of mopping up leftover veg and creating a hearty, low carb main or side dish packed with flavour. This veggie fried cauli rice is quick and easy to prepare, and a variable as you like. If you have ingredients you like to hand, they can be chopped up, fried and thrown in. Below we’ve included some of our favourite ingredients and perhaps some less predictable seasonings – but again, if you have a spice you particularly like, feel free to swap out and experiment. A great alternative to potatoes, it’s also one of our favourite kitniyot-free options at Passover.
