Herb Seasoned Cauliflower Rice

Hands down - new favorite side dish. I've already made it three times over the past week! 

If you haven't caught on to the cauliflower rice trend yet, now is the time. This recipe really makes you forget that you wanted rice and definitely doesn't taste like you are eating a veggie. Also, for anyone who might care, it is absolutely Whole30 approved. :)


The recipe I used from The Nourishing Home gave instructions for making this from a whole cauliflower and a food processor to create the "rice". I however, picked up a few bags of Trader Joe's frozen Organic Riced Cauliflower seen below. Highly suggest this because it takes about a whole 3 minutes to make this recipe with that!



So, now for the recipe:  

Ingredients: 

1 large head of cauliflower

2 tbsp ghee (or butter)

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup fine diced yellow onion

3/4 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1/3 cup homemade chicken stock

1-2 tbsp minced fresh parsley (see note below for more options)
 
 Instructions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ghee, olive oil and onion. Saute the onion until it begins to soften and then add the salt, dried parsley, garlic powder and pepper. Stir well to combine seasonings with the onion and continue to cook another 1-2 minutes until onion is translucent. 

2. Add the riced cauliflower to the seasoned onion and stir well to combine. Continue to stir and combine until the cauli-rice is soft (about 2-3 minutes when using the TJ's frozen cali-rice). 

3. Remove from heat and add fresh parsley.  


I served mine with the salmon from my last post so here is that picture again!

Lemon Garlic Tilapia




Here is another Pinterest find – sensing a trend here? I love Pinterest! I also love fish so a super easy fish recipe is a dream come true for me. My fiancĂ© never really ate fish growing up so getting him to eat it makes me a little nervous when I try new recipes, but this one came out great and he loved it! He even asked for it specifically one time! I usually pair it with some rice and serve over a bed of fresh baby spinach. My fiancĂ© prefers to have the broccoli over the spinach, but it is easily customizable!
 

What You’ll Need:
1 baking pan
small mixing bowl

Ingredients:
3-4 tilapia fillets (roughly about 4 oz. each — and I used frozen)
1 T. butter; melted
1/2 t. salt
1 T. minced garlic (or 1 clove garlic)
1 lemon; sliced
Broccoli or other frozen veggie (optional)
cooking spray



Baked-Tilapia


Instructions:

1. Lightly grease a baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place defrosted tilapia filets evenly on the bottom of the pan.
3. In the small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, salt and garlic. Then pour this mixture over the tilapia filets.
4. Place lemon slices over tilapia filets.
5. If you are using veggies, place them around the tilapia before placing in the oven.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.
