Notes

Real, good-quality coconut milk is an essential ingredient in this Easy Coconut Lime Rice Recipe – be sure to buy the canned variety not the coconut milk beverage.
A good non stick pan or enameled cast iron dutch oven is recommended.   You want to frequently stir while simmering with the coconut milk to keep it from burning. 
As promised how to make “Fresh” Cauliflower Rice.  For this recipe you will want one head of cauliflower.  Clean and cut the cauliflower head into florets.  Next add the florets to the food processor and Pulse, until the cauliflower resembles rice. Don’t overflow the processor, do it in batches for the perfect “rice”.  The pulse button is your friend.  This is not the time to turn on the blender and look away, the cauliflower will turn to mush.
