How to Prepare Turmeric Cauliflower Pilaf Vegetable Bowl [Vegan]

To Make the Cauliflower Pilaf:

Shred the cauliflower in a food processor using the shredding attachment.
Add onions to a hot pan, along with a little broth to help sauté (not too much, as you want the onions to caramelize slightly). Sauté onions until translucent, then add eggplant and mushrooms.
Add in cauliflower rice.
Sauté until cauliflower softens, adding in broth/water as needed to prevent sticking, but just enough to soften the rice without getting too watery. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Top with slivered almonds or toasted pine nuts

To Make the Pilaf Vegetable Bowl:

Add peppers while cooking the cauliflower rice pilaf, and add in remaining ingredients listed above, except greens, cilantro, and nuts. Heat thoroughly.
When finished, add greens, cilantro, and stir until greens are wilted (adding more water/broth if needed).
Serve and top with slivered almonds, pistachios, toasted pine nuts, or pumpkin seeds.
