Lower carb Rice Pilaf

By KellyJo

This is my compromise version of a low carb recipe to satisfy my carb loving hubby. It uses half rice/ half cauliflower. Not a true low carb recipe, but lower carb than an all-rice version.

Ingredients

• 2 tsp. chicken bouillon (or 2 cubes crushed)
• 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. white pepper
• 1 c. grated cauliflower
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1/4 c slivered almonds
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1 c. cooked long-grain white rice
• 1/4 c. butter
