TIPS/VARIATIONS:
- Try riced Brussel sprouts or riced broccoli. Or use a combination of all three.
- Mix up your greens! Swap spinach with finely chopped arugula, collards, kale, swiss chard, dandelion and mustard greens.
- Make it a meal! add 2-3 oz of organic liver with the garlic and onion. Or add 2-3 organic, free-range eggs once the cauliflower is tender. Continue to cook for 3 minutes then add spinach or greens of choice.
- Omit the ghee and replace with ½ cup organic bone broth. Once veggies are fully cooked and pan is removed from heat source, finish with 2+ tbsp olive oil. Mix well.
- Don’t overheat! High heat can oxidize and damage oils, creating free radicals.

This recipe — cauliflower rice with spinach — in no way resembles the dish in the picture, which has red and yellow as well as multiple green vegetables! Was there an error?
No, we don’t always have usable photos of the recipes, so we make use of the next best thing.
Not the best thing…disappointing!
