This recipe is my take on a popular Hawaiian summer staple. Poke bowls are traditionally made with raw fish (salmon or tuna), marinated in soy sauce and served with sticky rice, pickled vegetables and avocado.
My version is grain-free, paleo and low in carbs, which makes it suitable for the ketogenic diet. It's high in healthy fats (omega-3 fatty acids and MUFA), fibre, magnesium and potassium. It's delicious, comforting, and so good for you!

- For best results, use a grating blade on your food processor to create rice-like shapes. I used my Kenwood mixer with a food processor attachment.
Place the cauli-rice in a hot pan greased with ghee. Cook over a medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes and stir to prevent burning. In a small bowl, mix the vinegar, salt and Erythritol (if used).

- When done, take off the heat, place in a bowl and combine with the vinegar mix. Set aside.
Cut each of the sheets in quarters and then cut each of the quarters in half.

Halve and slice the avocado.
