- 2 cups frozen cauliflower rice thawed in the fridge
- 1 cup celery diced
- ½ cup red onion diced
- ⅓ cup buffalo sauce like The New Primal
- 2 tablespoons ghee or avocado oil

Add frozen cauliflower rice to a large bowl and let thaw in the fridge to collect any moisture and condensation.
Once thawed, place the cauliflower rice in cheesecloth. and squeeze out as much liquid out as possible. This will keep your cauliflower rice from becoming soggy. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat ghee over medium heat. Once hot, add diced celery and onion and saut until the veggies are soft and fragrant (5 to 7 minutes).
Add the drained riced cauliflower. Turn the heat up slight, and saute until all the moisture cooks out and the riced cauliflower is warmed through.
Stir in the buffalo sauce and toss to coat. Cook for an additional minute to marry the flavors. Remove and serve hot garnished with chopped cilantro.
