INSTRUCTIONS
CAULIFLOWER RICE
Rice cauliflower in a food processor by dropping in florets and pulsing until cauliflower resembles grains of rice. Alternatively, buy "pre-riced" cauliflower fresh or frozen from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.
In a large skillet over medium heat melt coconut oil, add cauliflower rice and cook until softened (about 4-5 minutes), add fresh cilantro, and salt. Stir together, remove from heat and reserve.
CHICKEN
Mix together Za'atar, crushed garlic, salt, and olive oil. Spread over chicken. Grill until cooked through (I used a counter top grill and cooked for 12 minutes). Allow to cool, slice and set aside.
QUICK PICKLED ONIONS
Slice red onion into thin rounds, place in a colander or sieve. Pour boiling water over onions (this is to remove some of the pungency), then place in a small bowl or mason jar. Cover with vinegar, stir in salt and seeds (if using) allow to sit for 30 minutes or up to 5 days.
ASSEMBLY
Place cauliflower rice in bottom of a bowl, top with sliced chicken, pickled onions, diced cucumber, tomato, watercress, and radish. Drizzle with tahini dressing.
