How to Make Keto Thai Red Curry Coconut Pork
For the Riced Cauliflower
Add a small amount of the cauliflower florets to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you get rice-sized pieces.
Remove and add to a bowl, while you process the next batch.
Continue the process until all the florets have been riced.
Melt the butter in a large skillet on medium heat and add in the riced cauliflower.
Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired texture (I like mine with a little bite to it).
Remove from the heat and mix in the cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice and zest. Cover to keep warm while you make the curry.

This recipe is just lovely, I can now eat Thai curry knowing what the ingredients are instead of ordering from our local take-out. Very elegant.
