Pork and Cauliflower Fried Rice
Why cauliflower rice vs. white rice? Swapping cauliflower rice for white rice taps into the beneficial compounds in cruciferous vegetables, including a range of micronutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, vitamin B6, and potassium.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons tamari
2 tablespoons nut butter, peanut
or almond butter ( I used cashew)
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp honey
1/3 cup chicken stock
500 gm organic ground pork
(or chicken)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups diced baby bella mushrooms
3 cups cauliflower rice
1 carrot, diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 cups kale, o broccoli hopped
2 pasture-raised eggs, beaten, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper
2 spring onions thinly sliced
Braggs sauce a sprinkling once served
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, nut butter, and ginger, honey and chicken stock. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking up large lumps with a wooden spoon, until golden brown.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Add the cauliflower rice, carrots, onions, kale, and the sauce mixture. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Make a small well in the center of the skillet and add the beaten eggs. Gently scramble the eggs for 2 to 3 minutes, until just set, and then combine with the cauliflower rice mixture. Remove from the heat.
Garnish with sliced green onions.

Before you cook the fish prepare your table with all of the goodies to go with them, that way as soon as the fish hits the table you are free to dig in!

Fish Tacos

Lettuce washed and pat dry.
Grated carrot, sliced cucumber or any other veg you feel like adding.
Preheat a large fry pan on a medium to high heat.
Coat the fish in the cajun spice,
Add oil to the pan (if using butter watch it doesn't burn, I often use 1/2 olive oil and half butter for a lovely flavour) and fry the fish turning once, until golden on the outside, opaque and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on the size of the fillets.
Let rest 5 minutes before flaking with a fork.
Once cooked flake the fish into strips and add to lettuce cups if using or .
Assemble lettuce tacos with cucumber and grated carrot.
