Glorious Cauliflower Rice Bowl with Spinach, Ham, & Turmeric

In this dish, the cauliflower rice takes on a creamy, almost risotto-like texture because it is cooked in a veggie broth that is reduced down. It has both amazing flavors and textures from the scallion, carrots, spinach, ham, turmeric, and cumin.  The bonus to all of these amazing flavors are the health benefits! You get the vitamins and nutrients from the veggies, but also the spices bring added benefits. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory so not only does it bring flavor and color, but it also has healing benefits.  The flavors, textures, vitamins, nutrients, and anti-inflammatory benefits make this one- Glorious-Rice-Bowl!
