Okay world record here for fastest Instant Pot recipes in the history of mankind.
Not quite sure how cavemen survived without pressure cookers. Apparently their children didn’t have 4 different after-school activities nor were they balancing 3 part-time jobs. Isn’t it wild what we take on today as adults?
“The Hustle” is glamorized to the nth degree. You ain’t hustlin’? You ain’t a true Millenial. How about everyone just calms the hell down for a second? Breathe. Purposefully breathe for just one second a day. Stop and make an intentional deep breath. I do this frequently throughout my day. Baby crying? Breathe. Dog barking? Breathe. Traffic a-hole-ness? Breathe. There’s really only 1 thing we absolutely 100% need to live and that is breath. (Okay and water, but you can live about a week without that.)
Even though I make room for as much breathing and relaxation as I can throughout the day, I still don’t want to be in the kitchen forever and ever. Even though I blog from home = in the kitchen forever and ever. But when I’m cooking for myself and the hub, I really don’t want to spend longer than 10 minutes of hands-on time, which is why I use the Instant Pot for almost all our cooked meals these days!
One major AIP staple in our household in cauliflower rice because it cooks up so easily. But sometimes it gets a little too watery cooking it on the stovetop which is a big bummer. I have found a way to cook cauliflower rice, completely hands-off, without ever screwing it up! And it cooks in 1 MINUTE! Amazingness.
In case you missed it, The Paleo AIP Instant Pot Cookbook released this past week & it’s blowing up Instagram!
People are loving it! So if you want some more breathing time, get on the Instant Pot train and never look back. I’ll be your conductor since from here on out I’ll only be posting Instant Pot recipes (haha, kidding, sort of, maybe not, can you blame me?)

Serve this 1-minute side dish with any curry, stew, skillet, or saute!
1-minute Coconut Cauliflower Rice
- Prep Time: 2 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 minutes
- Total Time: 3 minutes
- Yield: 2 to 4 1x
Ingredients
- 16 ounces raw riced cauliflower (I used Trader Joe’s brand)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons arrowroot starch
Instructions
-
Stir the riced cauliflower, coconut milk and sea salt together in the Instant Pot insert until combined.
-
Seal the lid and set the manual cook time to 1 minute. When the timer elapses, immediately release the pressure and remove the lid. There should only be a very small amount of liquid remaining and the large majority of the liquid should have been absorbed by the cauliflower rice.
-
Sprinkle the arrowroot starch on top of the cauliflower rice and stir until thickened. There should not be any liquid remaining in the pot at this point. Immediately transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.

I just made this tonight to go with pineapple chicken and sauteed kale. So happy to find a recipe that uses riced cauliflower and it’s delicious and the perfect complement to the chicken dish.
Thank you!!
Awesome, Dawnette! Sounds like a delish meal!
Not sure what happened with ours as it turned out mushy. Not something we would use again.
What kind of cauliflower rice did you use? Pre-bagged or your own processed?
Have you ever tried this using Trader Joe’s frozen riced cauliflower and if so, how long do you cook it?
You would cook it for a minute as well but it may be a little mushier! Or cook it in a pot with 1/4 cup coconut cream instead over medium heat.
Can you use almond milk instead of coconut milk?
Hm, I wouldn’t recommend it since it’s less creamy and more watery.
Thank you. I will be trying your one minute cauliflower rice in about 5 minutes. Coconut milk it is!
I am new to your site, and this is very good; I made this today with hand-riced cauliflower that had been frozen, cooked in frozen state. I riced my own cauliflower in my food processor and stuck it in the freezer. I mixed a portion with quinoa, which I am aware is not Paleo, but was a very good lunch. Will definitely make again!
Happy to hear Nancy – thank you for sharing!
