Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Instructions
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut it into medium-sized florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they are the size of rice grains. Be mindful not to over-process to prevent the cauliflower from becoming mushy.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the parsley, basil, and thyme leaves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Cook the cauliflower for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's slightly tender. Avoid overcooking to maintain a rice-like texture.
Stir in the chopped parsley, basil, and thyme, ensuring even distribution throughout the cauliflower rice.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add a splash of lemon juice for a fresh burst of flavor.
Mix well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the herbs to infuse thoroughly with the cauliflower rice.
Serve warm as a low-carb side dish or as a base for your favorite keto-friendly meals.
