Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower (for ricing)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup canned black soybeans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.25 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 wedge lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and use a food processor to pulse them into rice-sized grains. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower for convenience.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the turmeric, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Toss to coat the cauliflower in the seasoning, then cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the black soybeans and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 3-4 more minutes, until the beans are heated through and the broth has mostly evaporated.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Serve the keto yellow rice with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty kick, if desired.
