Cauliflower Rice Pilaf

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the garlic and sauté over medium heat for 1 minute.

Step 2

Add the cauliflower and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender-crisp, about 8 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ginger, cooked rice, raisins, and spices. Stir together and cook, covered, over very low heat for 10 minutes. If the mixture seems a bit dry, add a small amount of additional water.

Step 4

Stir in the scallions and cilantro, and season with salt and pepper. Add pinch of red pepper flakes for heat if you'd like.

Step 5

Cover and let stand for 5 minutes or so, then garnish with sesame seeds and cashews and serve from the pan, or transfer to a serving platter or container.
