Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (about 600g) Fresh cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and stem. Cut it into florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic.
Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
Cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's tender and slightly golden.
Chop the fresh parsley finely.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the toasted almonds and chopped parsley.
Serve the cauliflower rice hot as a low-carb side dish or as a base for your favorite proteins.
