My cauliflower "fried rice"

If you haven't come across this on Pinterest yet, I'd be very surprised. Cauliflower seems to be the wonder veg of 2014, being used in place of rice for many dishes and even the main component of a paleo-type pizza base. We'll save the pizza base for another day, but today let's do some rice.

The great thing about this recipe is the base is all veggie and very filling, so you're not throwing 5pp away on a guilty cup of rice. You can include a decent amount of protein and I find it very satisfying. The photo above is just all my chopped veggies ready to go, and the big white bowl is about half a head of cauli whizzed in my mini food processor till it is in pieces all about the size of rice grains. From there on it's just like any other stir fry. Cook the veggies how you want, and when your mix is about 80% cooked, throw in the cauliflower and turn up the heat. I used soy sauce and teriyaki sparingly, with garlic and some ginger and a few other spices it already tastes pretty good. I use low-sodium as well as regular soy sauce so you can get a nice flavour punch without the super saltiness you can get with soy sauce. I add the liquids when the pan is super hot and keep tossing the cauliflower with all the veg. Taste test to make sure you have the flavour to your preference and then let the mixture sit in the hot pan a little longer between stirs, to get rid of any liquid and to crisp up the cauliflower.

As you can see I used frozen shrimp and a couple of eggs for protein. This mix above made two full meal portions, which I estimate to be 5-6pp only.
