It is amazing how simple this side dish is. As you know, easy, fast and delicious recipes are my go button. This paleo (and of course gluten-free) recipe is packed with flavor that is so subtle, and so satisfying. The oil I use adds color and the saffron helps the richness in color and flavor. This cauliflower rice saffron style will be a new staple in your home as it is delicious, nutritious and has terrific appeal to the senses. I LOVE serving it up with my paleo curry chicken.
Organic “safe” palm oil added
Since I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I of course could not have gluten. I love rice and how many dishes it goes in but I elected to try going off grains after being on the standard gluten-free diet for a number of years and still feeling pretty crappy. My blood tests showed minor improvement and I was heading into minor bone loss from the malnutrition. Once I started on the initial paleo diet my health and muscle tone changed dramatically. It has been easy to manipulate how I want my body to look, and I feel SO MUCH better and my labs are PERFECT, even my hormones.
The magic is added!
Being off grains has been easy as I find so many ways to work with the basic premise of no grains and no legumes, like this recipe. I hope you enjoy and I hope you also feel very good. That is after all why I share my recipes and do what I do on a regular basis after all these years. Now have fun and be sure to read 28 wonderful benefits of cauliflower over at my friend Helen’s, blog, Well-Being Secrets! Enjoy!
The delicious finale!
