Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped White onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
1. Prepare the cauliflower rice by removing the leaves and cutting the head into quarters. Grate the quarters using a box grater, or alternatively use a food processor to pulse until the cauliflower is about the size of rice grains.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Stir in the cauliflower rice and chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and cover the skillet. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
6. Uncover and let any excess moisture evaporate, stirring frequently. This should take about 3 more minutes.
7. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Optionally, stir in the chopped cilantro for added flavor and freshness.
9. Drizzle the lime juice over the cauliflower rice, toss to combine, and remove from heat.
10. Serve warm as a low-carb alternative to traditional white rice.
