Best 7 Broccoli And Cauliflower Rice Medley Recipes

HOW TO COOK THE BEST BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Remove the stem and leaves from the broccoli and cauliflower. Chop into chunks and blitz in a food processor using the S blade until they resemble a rice consistency.
• Place the broccoli and cauliflower rice in a metal steamer in 1cm of water and cook for 3 - 5 minutes (or microwave on medium/ high for 3 - 5 minutes) until soft. You may need to do this in batches.
• Allow to cool slightly and transfer to a muslin cloth or clean thin tea towel. Squeeze out the excess water. This is the magic step that will make your veggie rices fluffy!
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, or coconut oil in a pan. Add the veggie rices (you can use all cauliflower or all broccoli if you prefer, just make sure it's the same weight) and fry for 1 further minute. Fluff up with a fork and mix well. Season to taste.
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add the onions, saute on a medium/ low heat for 3 - 4 minutes until soft. Add the garlic for a further 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Stir through the broccoli or cauliflower rice, or mix of. Season to taste.
• Stir all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle, as much to taste, over your broccoli and cauliflower rice and top with optional fresh parsley and avocado.

SAUTEED VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
• In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
• Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly.
• Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. - Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.
