Almond Green Bean Rice
Recipe from Whole Food for Your Family, page 230
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter or ghee
- 1 12-ounce bag fresh or frozen riced cauliflower
- 3/4 cup chicken broth or chicken bone broth
- 8 ounces frozen green beans or 2 heaping cups
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
Flavor Boost Powder
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons vegan butter. Add the riced cauliflower and stir to combine.
- MAKE THE FLAVOR BOOST POWDER: In a small bowl, whisk together the seasonings to make the flavor boost powder. You will only need 1 1/2 tablespoons for this recipe. Store any remaining powder in a sealed container in the pantry for up to 6 months. Great for flavoring soups, gravy, and veggies!
- Sprinkle the cauliflower with the flavor boost powder and stir again. Pour in the broth and green beans and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes, or until the liquid in the pan is absorbed.
- During the final 5 minutes of cooking time, in a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced almonds and cook for 3-4 minutes or until toasted.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top of the rice and serve.
