Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets, removing the core. Use a food processor to pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, use a box grater to achieve the same texture.
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt, cooking for another 30 seconds to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the riced cauliflower to the pan, stirring to combine with the spiced onion mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove the pan from heat, and stir in the fresh coriander leaves and lime juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm as a low-carb side dish.
