Cauliflower Rice 3 Ways from my Keto Slow Cooker Book (low-carb, paleo)

Recipe originally shared at Hello Glow.

Have you ever made flavoured cauliflower rice? Trust me, you need to give it a go! Skip the starchy sides, and make keto-friendly cauliflower rice instead: It’s the perfect partner for slow-cooked meat and flavourful sauces. With only 5 to 6 grams of net carbs per serving, this is the perfect ketogenic side for your Sunday roast, midweek curry, and tastes amazing even on its own.

I'd like to thank Emily Caruso of Hello Glow for reviewing my Keto Slow Cooker & One-Pot Meals Cookbook and creating a beautiful video to share my Cauliflower Rice 3 Ways. I've been making flavoured cauliflower rice with different herbs and spices for years and these are some of my favourite flavours.

    Ms Slajerova,
    I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, I packed on 22 pounds in 7 months which is the most I've ever weighed. I've always been a small person until this last year. Now as of 2 weeks ago I've got thyroid cancer. I'm trying to quit the sugar, grains, processed foods. The processed foods have been easy for me but the sugar and grains I've had a little harder time. Do you have any suggestions.

      I am so sorry to hear that Michelle, that is a lot to deal with! The ketogenic diet used in cancer treatment is very different from "regular" keto and you may have to consider making significant changes. I can give you some general tips - these are good posts to read and learn more about this approach:
      Can the Ketogenic Diet Help Patients with Brain Cancer? (includes some general advice)
      Ketogenic Diet and Cancer - Coconut Oil or Snake Oil? (includes some useful links)
      The Ketone Craze - Who Really Benefits From High Ketone Levels? (Includes some information on the therapeutic use of the ketogenic diet)
      Exogenous Ketones - What You Need To Know (same as above)
      I hope this helps!
