Food Can Be a Powerful Tool for Creating Health
The food we eat has a major impact on our health, but the way we prepare it can also have an effect. Eating a diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can lead to many health problems, such as obesity and heart disease. If you are hoping to reduce simple carbohydrates in your diet, rice can be tough to remove.
Cauliflower rice is a great option. We tend to buy ours at Trader Joes or in the freezer section at other supermarkets. It works great and has a wonderful texture and picks up flavor really nicely.
Three Easy Steps To Make This Fresh Pilar
Step 1: Saute the vegetables you want to add
I used zucchini, shallots and celery with dried spices.
Step 2: Add your Cauliflower Rice and Greens
If you don’t have cauliflower rice, you can simply chop it up finely.
Step 3: Add it all together and enjoy!
The final step is adding in the sauce and other ingredients. You’ll want to mix everything together, and then either serve it or let it chill so that the flavors have time to meld together. If you’re serving it immediately, don’t forget to add salt and pepper to your taste before you dig in!
What to serve with the pilaf?
Any dish you might have served rice with before. We had this with miso eggplant spears, potato subzi and watercress salad.

Servings: 4
Serving Size:
Calories:
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower Dice yourself or sold as "rice"
- 1/2 cup basmati rice optional – can add more or not add at all.
- 1 cup finely diced zucchini
- 1 small shallot optional
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 cup minced swiss chard
- 2 tsp dried herbs poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- olive oil to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped heirloom tomatoes
- 1/2 cup fresh herbs parsley, cilantro or dill could work
- 1/4 cup diced olives optional
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Sauté shallot in a little bit of olive oil until translucent (several minutes).
- Add cumin, salt, and pepper and sauté for another minute. (You can add other spices here like poultry seasoning or herbs de Provence.
- Add celery, cauliflower, and zucchini and cook for several minutes on medium-high heat.
- After 5-7 minutes (veggies are soft), add Swiss chard and take off the heat.
- Cool for several minutes if eating later, and add fresh herbs, lemon juice, olive oil to taste, olives, and tomatoes after about 30 minutes. This salad is terrific at room temperature. Letting it cool allows for the herbs to not be cooked by the warm food if eaten later. When this is the case, they lose their taste. If eating right away, add the fresh herbs and serve it right away.
