Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Wash and dry the cauliflower, then cut it into florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until the texture resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process, as you don't want it to become mushy.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to turn golden brown.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet. Stir continuously until the spinach wilts and blends with the cauliflower rice, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese for additional flavor.
Serve hot as a main dish or a side to your favorite protein. Enjoy!
