PECAN "RICE:"
3 cups riced Cauliflower
2 TBS butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
2 TBS minced parsley
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
"RICE": Place the cauliflower heads into a food processor (click HERE to find the one I use), pulse until small pieces of 'rice.'
In a pan, melt butter and mix in "riced" cauliflower and onions, fry until soft. When cauliflower is done, add pecans, parsley, basil, ginger, pepper and salt. Serve with chicken.
Nutritional Comparison (per cup):
Cauliflower "Rice" = 28 calories, 3 carbs, 1 fiber
White Rice = 242 calories, 53 carbs, 0 fiber
ROASTED CHICKEN:
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed
Celtic sea salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup butter, divided
1 stalk celery, leaves removed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons butter and the onion in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining butter around the chicken's exterior. Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity.
Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from heat, and baste with melted butter and drippings. Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving.
