Cauliflower rice is a great low-calorie dish to have in your arsenal especially if you are eating low-carb. Super low in carbs, yet such a satisfying dish you will forget it's made from a vegetable and not a grain. There are two reasons I opted for roasted riced cauliflower in place of sauteed: 1) more flavor and 2) better texture.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 heads cauliflower , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1.5 tablespoons avocado oil
- 0.75 teaspoons salt , divided

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Fill a food processor 1/4 of the way with cauliflower pieces. Pulse 8 to 12 times until cauliflower is the size of rice grains. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining cauliflower pieces.

Curry Stand Chicken Tikka Masala Sauce
A tikka masala sauce from a classic curry-stand recipe. This is not haute cuisine; it's the kind of nuclear-orange tikka masala you crave when you stumble out of a pub at 2 a.m. I make vast quantities of this sauce at one time as it freezes well. I also use more cayenne pepper than 1 teaspoon, but I give out the recipe like this for people who don't like heat.
Classic Caesar Salad
This Caesar salad recipe is the same one I made at a very fancy restaurant while I was in college. The best part of the job was making tableside dishes, including this Caesar salad which is the best I've ever had and sure to impress!

Had this at my nephew's graduation party. Very good and not too sweet.
