Directions:

In a large skillet over medium, heat the oil. Sauté the leeks and garlic until leeks start to brown and garlic is aromatic.

Turn the heat to high and add one bag of frozen cauliflower rice. Spread cauliflower out across the skillet to see if you have room in the pan for the second bag. If not, cook in batches.

Once all of the rice is cooked, add it back to the sauté pan and add heavy cream, salt, pepper, and cheese. Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is reduced. Just before serving, add the basil, lemon juice, and capers. Serve immediately.

Kids Can Cook Tips: Have the younger kids help measure the oils and cream and help grate the cheeses and juice the lemons. Older kids with knife skills can help chiffonade the basil and slice the leeks.
