Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and core of the cauliflower. Cut it into small florets and wash thoroughly.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they achieve a rice-like texture. Be careful not to over-process; you want small, rice-sized pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cauliflower rice to steam for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to allow any excess moisture to evaporate, stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving hot.
