Spicely Organics Cumin Seed Whole Tin -- 2.7 oz
Garlic-ginger beef combined with golden vegetable “fried rice” makes for a quick, easy and ultra-satisfying dinner. The healthier take on veggie fried rice gets its golden color from turmeric, while the “rice” is simply riced cauliflower studded with colorful veggies. You can use fresh veggies, as outlined in the recipe, or pick up a bag of frozen peas and carrots to save time. Store any remaining servings in the refrigerator to reheat the next day – it’s just as delicious.
