Paleo Greek 'Rice' image

This way of cooking cauliflower is an excellent substitute for most rice dishes for those looking to add more veggies and cut back on grain. Cauliflower is mild and is a great compliment to the Mediterranean flavors of lemon and mint. The recipe is both SCD and paleo diet-friendly. We served this underneath grilled lamb kabobs. It was a big hit!
