Low Carb Cauliflower Meals

Check this baby out!

I got a new Food Processor (the Kenwood FP582 takes up 30% less space in a kitchen press than a regular processor due to its streamlined design) which makes chopping up cauliflower a breeze. 

I flew through these cauliflowers and had 3 batches of cauliflower rice in no time at all.  When you have the right tools it is easy!

This is all the waste from the cauliflower - there is more waste than actual cauliflower!! This will all go in to my brown waste bin which takes all my compostable material.

I made up three different things.   
* Pizza for tonight (with cauliflower base)
* Pizza I froze for Thursday night (thanks to a blog reader for suggesting I make two bases at the same time - Great tip Lisa!) 
*Kung Pao Chicken with Coconut Cauliflower Rice for tomorrow night.

Here is the pizza we ate tonight. The base was a bit more solid than the other time I made it so it felt more like real pizza.

Here's the pizza that went in to the freezer. I will cook from frozen on Thursday evening.

 I plated up the Kung Pao Chicken for tomorrow evening. It might have been a better idea to make the coconut cauli-rice tonight but then cook the chicken fresh tomorrow. I'll do that next time.

The Kung Pao Chicken with Cauli Rice is a banting recipe from The Real Food Revolution Cookbook.

All in all a fairly productive hour and a half or so of cooking - however the house does smell of cauliflower which is not so good :-(

Banting "Kung Pao Chicken on Coconut Cauli-Rice" from Real Meal Revolution Book

I borrowed The Real Meal Revolution from the library yesterday.  It is a Banting or LCHF (low carb high fat) cookbook and the recipes are amazing!!

I decided that I would try to cook the Kung Pao with Coconut Cauliflower Rice.  It looks so good in the cookbook and from the video you can see that it seems fairly easy to cook.

 I'm intrigued to see what the Coconut Cauli-Rice tastes like.  Cauliflower Rice is a low carb alternative to rice - have you ever tasted it? 

 I had to buy every single ingredient as I had nothing in my pantry. 

And voila - here is the finished dish!

It was very tasty but next time I will add less water to the cauli-rice as it was a little watery.  But definitely a success and was given the thumbs up by my husband......even though he spotted straight away that there was not real rice on the plate.

The Real Meal Revolution is available from Amazon - if you are looking for a Low Carb High Fat cookbook I would think this is a good buy.  As well as including lots of great recipes with super pics, all the science behind Banting or LCHF and why fat doesn't cause obesity but Carbohydrate does is explained thoroughly at the back by Professor Tim Noakes.  It's a whopper of a book and I think it is the LCHF bible!
