Add the spices and mix in for a few seconds. Add the greens, peas and garbanzo beans, ketchup and a splash of water. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the cauliflower is cooked al dente or to preference.
  3. Add the cooked rice and salt and toss well. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until blend has come to 140 degrees. Garnish with 1 tbsp cilantro and serve.
