Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the medium cauliflower head into florets, removing the core and leaves.
Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they reach a rice-like consistency. Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower using a box grater.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 minced large garlic clove to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and slightly toasted.
Meanwhile, finely chop 0.5 cup of fresh cilantro.
Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Mix until well combined, adjusting seasoning to taste if necessary.
Serve the keto cilantro rice warm as a side dish or a base for your favorite keto toppings.
