Seasoned Cauliflower "Rice"

Healthy, oil-free, and super easy!  Seasoned Cauliflower "Rice" is the perfect side.  Make it a complete meal by adding a meat alternative from the list in the "Where Do You Get Your Protein?? Vegetable Alternatives to Meat" Article. 

Ingredients:

1 medium head of cauliflower

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon ground dried coriander

1 teaspoon dried oregano

salt to taste

Directions:

Pull apart the cauliflower.  Using the stems as a handle (so you don't cut your fingers), grate the cauliflower into rice shaped pieces using a grater.  Do not grate the stems.   

Place the cauliflower rice into a pan over medium heat and add remaining ingredients.  Add water or vegetable broth one tablespoon at a time if cauliflower starts sticking to pan.  Cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes or until cauliflower rice is soft. 

Sauteed Potatoes

Ingredients:
-5 medium potatoes, diced in 1/2" cubes
-1/2 yellow onion, diced
-2 teaspoons garlic, minced
-1 teaspoon dried thyme
-1 handful kale
-2-3 Tablespoons olive oil (I try to use as little as possible)
-Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Saute potatoes in 1 Tablespoon olive oil and add more as needed.
Ten minutes before potatoes are done, add diced onions.

Five minutes before potatoes are done, add thyme, garlic, and kale.

When potatoes are finished, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Enjoy... with ketchup :) Or BBQ tempeh, like me!
