Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse and pat the cauliflower dry. Trim the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they resemble the texture of rice or couscous. Be careful not to over-process.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic.
Season the cauliflower rice with salt and black pepper.
Sauté the cauliflower rice for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rice should be tender but not mushy.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the skillet along with the lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving hot.
