Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and wash them thoroughly under cold water.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they resemble the size and texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process them.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
Pour the coconut milk into the skillet, stirring to combine it with the cauliflower rice.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer on low heat for another 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the 'rice' to absorb the coconut milk.
Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent sticking, cooking until the cauliflower is tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the chopped fresh cilantro, and mix well.
Serve hot as a delicious, keto-friendly side dish.
