Pesto Cauliflower

  Pesto Cauliflower  Taken from:  https://comfybelly.com/2016/05/garlic-herb-mussels/ This is a paleo rice recipe but I just loved it as a cauliflower dish. Ingredients 1 large cauliflower head, diced into bite-size pieces 1 tablespoon high heat oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons pesto Method Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC, or gas mark 6). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the cauliflower, oil, and salt in a bowl until the cauliflower is well coated. Spread the cauliflower across the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. (This step can be skipped if it's not for paleo rice) Cool the cauliflower for 5 minutes and then gently pulse a few times in a food processor, or until it has the texture of large pieces of rice. Don’t over pulse it or it will become mushy. Blend in the pesto and serve. Serves 2 as a meal
