My husband gave me a bouquet of veggies for Valentine’s Day. Why? Because I don’t like cut flowers (so he never gave me real cut flowers) and we are vegetarians!<\/p>\n
It was my perfect excuse to make cauli rice.<\/p>\n
See, I love the idea of cauliflower rice – it’s low carb, healthy, and normally really good in taste. BUUUT…I cannot justify eating it everyday because really, in Manila, cauliflowers are expensive. Even at its cheaper range (like PHP 50-70 per 2 heads), that’s just one or two meals for me and the husband, while real rice that price would feed a lot more people. Haha.<\/p>\n
So anyway, I had lots of cauliflowers to eat, hence I made my own cauliflower rice using the ingredients we already have.<\/p>\n
I am not an expert in the kitchen (not at all!), but I shared this on Instagram and the ones who tried it said they like it, so am sharing it here.<\/p>\n
Such a long introduction, haha, but anyway, hope you enjoy this simple, very easy to cook meal, too!<\/p>\n

\n1 pc tomato (small to medium)
\n1 clove garlic
\n1 small onion (small to medium)
\n1 pc salted egg
\ndesired seasoning (no salt needed anymore, though, because of the salted egg)
\nbutter\/ cooking oil
\ngreens like green onion or chives or onion leeks<\/p>\n
\nlime\/lemon juice
\ndried kamias (bilimbi)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>cut your veggies however you desire (diced, sliced, etc), but for the cauliflower, it’s just either processed through a food processor, or grated — to make the texture similar to rice.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>2-3<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>1. In a pan, saut\u00e9 garlic, onion, and tomatoes in butter\/oil (or butter and oil like I did, haha).
\n2. Add grated cauliflower. Mix.
\n3. When the cauliflower is almost cooked, add the salted egg and mix again.
\n4. <\/span>Taste if you like it already – if not, add desired seasoning (I skipped this step).
\n5. Add your greens. I personally like onion leeks.
\n6. OPTIONAL: Squeeze a little lime\/lemon juice, and\/or garnish with dried kamias.
\n7. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
