I’m not a fan of riced cauliflower but would love to know if riced broccoli could be exchanged?

I threw on a gas grill and the char was delicious! I had some lemon grass paste I added to spice mix and rubbed into the tuna before cooking.

What do I use if I don’t have cauliflower rice ?
recipewriter 4 years ago
I recommend a side of Keto veggies cooked with your choices of spices in olive oil or butter. Zucchini, spinach, and leafy greens are all great options.

A little on the bland side.

This was so flavorful and easy to make. Loved the cauliflower with the coconut oil for more flavor.

Can you use can tuna ?

Your final product will look different from the photo but canned tuna is a good substitute here!

Can you use frozen cauliflower rice?

I use it all the time, love it!

Yes! However make sure any excess water from your rice has been evaporated before cooking it with the coconut oil.

What to use if you don’t have an avocado ?
recipewriter 5 years ago
If you would like to replace the macros of the avocado, I would suggest cooking a low-carb vegetable in some olive oil. A half-cup of chopped zucchini would do well here without increasing the carbs of the meal. Otherwise, you may want to omit the avocado completely and add some additional fat to the meal prep. Spicy mayo on the tuna or some melted cheese on the cauliflower rice could help maintain the amount of fat. Hope this helps!
