Sunday night is curry night at Chateau Snaps!

Recently I had occasion to try actual fresh, ready-made cauliflower rice. It was minging - powdery, dry, bitter, not nice at all.

I make my own at home, out of frozen cauliflower (cheap, easy to store in bulk, readily available, much less of a chore to deal with than ricing a fresh ‘un). 500g frozen florets in the microwave for 5 mins, drained well, then into the mini food processor with salt, pepper and chopped coriander leaves.

It’s not fluffy, or powdery, or dry. It’s the equivalent to the basmati stodge I used to enjoy - I would always cook rice rice with extra water so it would be clumpy and juicy. So that’s kind of how I like my caulirice, too. See how it’s holding onto the spoon? Kind of claggy, in a good way.

I haven’t had a lot of success with cauliflower rice, and spend too much time chasing the ‘bits’ round the kitchen! I will try your method.
Today I had chilli and cheese for lunch

Yeah, I really can’t be bothered corralling all of the cauli-nano-particles! And I find fresh caulirice is more like sand than food. #mybad :rofl:

This is why frozen riced cauliflower from Costco has changed my life :star_struck:
(in a small but great way lol)
also frozen zucchini ‘noodles’.

I’m having four slices of pork loin with an avocado.

Later on, I might make myself a bulletproof coffee without the MCT oil.

Decaf of course LOL

I like the frozen ready-made stuff too - I buy it specifically for risotto - I can just chuck in a bagful into the pan of goodies and job done!

(Mame) #8735

I was just wondering last night how you make your salmon risotto…
do you add the cheese last thing?
What do you do to thicken it as there is no actual rice starch…?

(Rebecca 🌸 Frankenfluffy) #8736

I pop a couple of salmon fillets in the oven with a bit of fresh pesto on top.

Meanwhile I cook chopped celery and the finely-chopped stalk from a head of broccoli in a little water with a chicken or veggie stock cube, in a large shallow saucepan. Then I add a chopped leek, the florets from the whole head of broccoli and a bag (one serving) of frozen caulirice, and enough water for it to cook safely without anything catching (not too much water - although actually I don’t mind slurping it with a spoon if it’s a bit soupy when I serve it)!

When the veggies are done I stir in the rest of the tub of pesto (that didn’t go onto the salmon) and enough handfuls of grated cheese for it all to kind of get sticky and claggy. Then I take the salmon out of the oven and either stir it all in or flake it onto the top of each plate.

If I’m feeling REALLY wild I’ll add :fried_egg: :fried_egg:!

I’ve made this with smoked bacon instead of salmon, and with chicken thighs. The pesto/leek/cheese/broccoli/cauliflower combo makes for a delicious ‘pestotto’ base, whatever you want to throw at it! :rofl:

Have dug out a pic of the last one I made - this was fresh cauliflower instead of broccoli, plus the frozen caulirice. Normally it’s a much greener dish than this, when it’s mostly broccoli, I mean.

This is one of those “doesn’t look great but tastes amazing” meals :joy:

I wanted beef stroganoff. I wanted bacon. And I wanted green beans. So I made all 3 :joy:

Basically this recipe but added green beans and bacon.

Thanks for sharing your recipe, I love salmon and I’m always looking for new ways to cook it :yum:
