Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. Use a food processor to pulse the florets into rice-sized pieces, working in batches if necessary, to avoid mushiness.
Peel and dice the carrots into small cubes. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Add the diced carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and mix well with the carrots and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the frozen peas to the mixture and stir to combine. Allow the peas to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the rice mixture. Stir once more to evenly distribute.
Remove from heat and serve your Paleo Rice with Carrots and Peas hot. Enjoy your healthy side dish or light meal!
