Brown and Wild Rice Cauliflower and Mushroom Curry
ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: This recipe uses all leftovers so you can be eating dinner in just a matter of minutes.
Phase 1, which is only a week, is the most limited phase in the diet. With the limited amount of ingredients there are certain foods that are used quite a bit and should be cooked ahead to save you time in the kitchen.
We suggest that you cook big batches of both brown rice and wild rice and leave them in the refrigerator. This recipe is made up from mostly already prepared ingredients so when it’s time to make your dinner it can be done in no time, making this a great meal during the week when you may be short on time.
This tasty recipe is one that your whole family will enjoy, even your vegan family members!
If you are already in a later phase of the diet or not on the diet at all, you can stir in chunks of grilled or baked chicken.
