Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower and cut it into chunks. Grate the chunks using a food processor with the grater attachment or a box grater until it resembles rice – about 3 cups.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become bright green and slightly tender.
Stir in the cauliflower rice. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is heated through and tender.
Mix in the chopped parsley, basil, and thyme leaves, combining well with the rice and broccoli. Add the lemon zest, salt, and black pepper, stirring until evenly distributed.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot. Enjoy your Keto Herbed Rice with Broccoli as a flavorful low-carb side dish.
