A low carb, gluten free alternative to rice.
Jump to Recipe
Making Indian, Thai or Mexican for dinner tonight? Want an alternative to rice to keep those carbs to a minimum and stay on track with eating healthier, cleaner and leaner? This is a great side dish it can be served raw , made into a summer “rice salad” or cooked and served to accompany any dish that is usually served with rice. It will keep for around 4 days in the fridge once cooked, and can be frozen raw for about 1 month although I never have any left to freeze! This takes around 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish so great for those of us who are time poor or want a quick side dish to serve with your meal.
