Rice side dishes are a staple that often find their way to my table and I always like it when you can incorporate some vegetables in them. This cauliflower rice pilaf inspired by Food & Drink magazine is a perfect example of a rice dish that includes a vegetable and the cauliflower and rice combination is an excellent one. When I first read this recipe I noted that it seemed to be very similar to a lot of curry dishes starting out with some garlic, ginger and green chilies. I then used a touch of garam masala to add some warmth and aromatics. I particularly like the use of the coconut milk in this dish as it always adds a really nice flavour to rice and it pairs well with the cauliflower. The mint finishes off the rice nicely adding an amazing freshness to the dish and the toasted almond garnish adds a change in texture.
