If using the cashews as a garnish, heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Add the cauliflower florets to a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is the size of a grain of rice. Don’t overcrowd or over-process; the cauliflower may turn to mush. If needed, work in batches so you can keep an even consistency.
1 head cauliflower
Once the “rice” is made, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking fat in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower and season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir to mix everything well.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is just tender.
Transfer to a bowl, cover to keep warm and set aside.
Place the potatoes in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 6 minutes, then strain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of cooking fat over medium heat.
