Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small, diced Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 small, diced Carrot
- 1 small, diced Bell pepper
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 sliced Scallions
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into florets, discarding the tough stems.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process to avoid a mushy texture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrot and bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the sautéed vegetables.
Mix in the frozen peas, soy sauce, black pepper, turmeric, and salt. Stir everything together and allow the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
