OK so I knew I would have left overs from yesterdays Swiss Chard extravaganza, but what to do with it all. Then I remembered seeing califlower used as a rice substitute from one of our previous challenges by Melissa P. one of our very own Boot Camp-ers! She made her own homemade vegetable and tomato sauce then instead of pasta, used califlower. So I deiced to do the same and see if anyone would notice...
Here's what you need...califlower and a grater...
Cut califlower into 4 pieces and start to grate SLOWLY...note to self, if you go too fast on the grater, the califlower bits fly out EVERYWHERE like popcorn, totally out of control!
I decided to make Curry Chicken and use the left over broth from the Swiss Chard to add to the sauce for more flavor...
I sauteed 4 chicken breasts with 2 tbsp Curry powder and 1 tbsp of Cumin. Then I added 1/2 cup of lite Coconut Milk, froze the rest. And then added the rest of the Swiss Chard and broth to it. In total I used 1/2 the head califlower to be substituted as the rice. Put the lid on it and brought the mixture to a boil to soften up the califlower...
Then I called my husband up for the official taste test and he didn't even notice a difference...I inhaled it for dinner, sooo good...might add some fresh cilantro to it tomorrow for lunch left-overs!
