Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons minced Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and the thick stem from the cauliflower, and cut it into medium-sized florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they resemble rice grains. Be careful not to over-process to avoid turning it into a puree.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice with the olive oil and garlic.
Cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is tender but not mushy.
Stir in the chopped parsley, cilantro, and minced thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cauliflower rice, mixing thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Serve the herb-infused cauliflower rice warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings.
