Fruity Cauliflower Rice

Published: Mar 16, 2015 Β· Modified: Mar 14, 2015 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

Transitioning from winter to spring with this Fruity Cauliflower Rice is perfect to end the season and begin anew. Gluten and grain free, vegan, and paleo, this sweet colorful "rice" is a perfect healthy side dish for any weeknight dinner.Β 

I adore cauliflower and pomegranate and kiwi and coconut....okay, well I adore A LOT of foods πŸ˜‰ With each season, there are different gems that are at their peak and should be eaten as much as possible. Now that winter is coming to a much needed close, there is still a bit more time to jam in the perfect winter produce while we can! But we can also lighten things up with the coming of spring with sweet pretty flavors and colors!

So to utilize the flavors of this awkward transition between seasons, why not combine winter produce and spring flare? Well, I did just that and might I say this transition just got a lot easier πŸ˜‰ Good-bye winter, hello spring, this foodie is so ready! One thing I am sad about is that I never got to have a blood orange πŸ™ The few times I did see them, they we horrendous. I did however, utilize the pomegranate a lot more this year than I normally do. Love those beautiful little jewels!

When I made this "rice", I had a random assortment of produce: a beautiful head of green cauliflower (from Frieda's!) that needed to be used, a pomegranate, and some random kiwis. I also had some more of my favorite coconut milkΒ in the pantry. I've only ever made savory cauli-rices, but since I'm me, I'm all for trying weird new things (and color combos). Combining all these random ingredients for a sweet side dish was the plan!

Β I didn't realize it until now, but this is also pretty fitting for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. The day all about the green! If you already have some heavier based foods planned like corned beef, soda bread, and potatoes, this was be the perfect sweet and light dish to bring to the table as well!

Speaking of, what's on the menu for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow? Does your family celebrate with a feast? I remember one of my first St. Patrick's Day's being gluten-free, I made some soda bread. It looked perfect coming out of the oven, but I made the "mound" to round and deep and the middle was gooey and uncooked :/ Major fail. I was going to try my hand at creating one this past week, but time slipped away and that was a fail too. Next year, I promise πŸ˜‰

This year, I'm back at school so there won't be any special meals (or soda bread...), but I'll think of something! If only I had more green cauliflower. I would so make some of this "rice"! Actually, I'd need a pomegranate and come coconut milk too. I have the kiwis and the coconut flakes, but that's it. I guess I'll just have to eat a bunch of salad greens, zucchini, and snow peas! I have all those!

Fruity Cauliflower Rice

Fruity Cauliflower Rice | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #sidedish #glutenfree #vegan #paleo #grainfree #soyfree #cauliflower

Ingredients: (serves 4)

+ 1 Large Head of Green Cauliflower

+ β…“ Cup Lite Culinary Coconut Milk

+ ΒΎ Cup Pomegranate Arils

+ 3 Small Kiwis (about ΒΎ Cup sliced and halved)

+ 2 TB Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Directions:

+ In a food processor, "rice" the cauliflower by breaking it into smaller florets and processing as needed in batches until you get a rice consistency.

+ On the stove, heat the riced cauliflower, uncovered, in a pan for 5 minutes with the coconut milk over medium heat. Once heated, remove the pan from heat.

+ Next, add in the pomegranate, kiwis which are skinned, sliced, then halved, and the unsweetened shredded coconut. Stir to combine.

+ Refrigerate overnight (or at least a few hours to chill) to let the flavors meld together. Serve cold with additional shredded coconut....too look pretty πŸ˜‰

Fruity Cauliflower Rice | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 #sidedish #glutenfree #vegan #paleo #grainfree #soyfree #cauliflower

Yummy, yummy, fruity, and lovely! This dish really fits the bill! The perfect transition between seasons, green for St. Patrick's Day, and light and fresh to give the body some lovin'! But if for some reason you can't find a green cauliflower, don't worry! Just use a normal white one! You can still get a pop of green from the kiwis πŸ˜‰

So tell me:

+ Are you Irish? Yes, my grandma is fully Irish, so I should probably wear green or something tomorrow :/ As I'm typing this, I just got a brilliant idea....IRISH SODA BREAD PANCAKES!!!! (I will be trying that this weekend...stay tuned!)

+ What's your favorite green foods? I think my top two are Sugar Snap Peas and Zucchini!

    I haven't been a fan of the cauliflower rice I've tried so far, but having it as a sweet instead of savoury and cooking it in coconut milk sounds super delicious. And a sneaky way to get veggies in at breakfast ;p

    I was saying that blood oranges are awesome and you must find some quick before the season ends! They're so good. If you think you're a sweet potato snob, just wait till you try these -- you'll be so sad to go back to regular 'ol oranges again.

    And the salad looks lovely -- love the colorful specs in there --> looks like happy food πŸ™‚

    This looks so delicious and flavorful, I love the idea of the fruit! I don't know if I can pick a favorite green food! Spinach is a huge one, I love it so many ways, also kale and collards, avocado, green onions, the list goes on πŸ™‚

    There is a really unique combo of flavors going on on that plate! I love starting off Monday with a fruity recipe bang!! Everytime I've made cauliflower rice I've eaten it raw, but cooking it for a little bit in the coconut milk sounds much better. Then it's not quite as crunchy and cruciferous, more like rice pudding πŸ˜€

      Yea! I always heat my cauli-rice a bit! I like it a bit softer and it helps with the flavors for sure!

    Such a pretty and inviting dish! I really need to make cauliflower rice. I've only made it once. No, I don't celebrate St. Patrick's. Being Korean, I had visions of my family celebrating all things green - haha it's a funny picture πŸ˜‰ My favorite green foods? gosh there are sooo many! sugar snap peas are def on my list. Spinach, avocado, asparagus...
