Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the cauliflower. Cut it into large florets and remove the central stem.
Using a food processor, pulse the florets in batches until they resemble rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring to coat in the garlic-infused oil.
Cook the cauliflower rice for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften but still retains a slight crunch.
Mix in chopped parsley, basil, and thyme leaves, ensuring even distribution of herbs throughout the rice.
Season the cauliflower rice with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Finish with lemon zest for a bright, fresh note.
Serve immediately as a side dish or base for your favorite low-carb meal.
