Ingredients

  • 1/4 head cauliflower
  • 3-4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 plantain
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Separate the cauliflower in florets and chop it briefly in a food processor until its texture resembles rice or cous cous. Don't over-process or you'll end up with mash.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a small pot. Add garlic and cook at low heat to avoid burning it. Add cauliflower and cook for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt.
  • Peel and slice plantain lengthwise. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan and fry the slices at medium temperature.
  • Fry the eggs in the remaining coconut oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve cauliflower "rice" topped with egg and plantain slices on the side.
