Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and stem, and cut the cauliflower into florets.
Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice grains. Be sure not to over-process as it can turn mushy.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour the chicken broth over the cauliflower rice and season with salt and black pepper.
Increase the heat to medium-high and let the mixture come to a slight simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and let any excess liquid evaporate by cooking uncovered for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
