  2. Add the carrot, peas, and bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, and then stir in the cauliflower rice. Clear a circle in the center of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs. Stir to scramble the eggs and then combine with the other ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Rice is such a staple in so many different cuisines that it is not surprising that Paleo chefs have been hard at work coming up with ways to substitute it. One of the most effective ways is using cauliflower that has been chopped up until it is the size and consistency of cooked rice (I blend mine in the food processor, it’s quick). Once you have a supply of cauliflower rice on hand you can use it in many different ways while cooking, including in sushi, as fried rice, or as a side dish to any of the meats that you will be eating while on the Paleo diet.
