It’s SPRING! I LOVE Spring! Flowers! Planting the Garden. Cool days and nights. Fresh Spring Veggies. Spring Fruits. I know there aren’t many but what is Springy is always fresh and delicious. Each region of the US has a different growing season and different fruits and veggies available. The South has a nice long growing season so were are more fortunate than some areas.
Since it has been a busy week I went with something quick and simple for Peggy’s pick this week – Spring Harvest.
Cauliflower “Rice” Pilaf
Since I am still doing the Whole30 program for 90% of my meals this fit in perfectly. And only four main ingredients: cauliflower, pine nuts/almonds, onions and parsley. It was perfect with some leftover Black Pepper Chicken.
I did make one change. Ellie called for OO for sauteeing the onions and cauliflower but I decided to use some toasted sesame oil instead. It added a little Asian flair to the rice and a little bite. Good!
The recipe is from Ellie Krieger’s You Have it Made. page 306.

And if you want to cook/bake along with us the weekly themes are listed on the right of the Ellie page. We don’t publish the recipes. We would rather you purchase Ellie’s books.

Your pilaf looks good – but I am intrigued by your black pepper chicken. Recipe?

Sorry, it was left over chicken from a Chinese Restaurant. But if I run across a good recipe…
