Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower head and chop it into florets. Use a food processor to pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, grate the florets using a box grater.
Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, and gently fold it into the cauliflower rice. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper, and stir in the lemon juice for a hint of freshness.
Serve the Paleo Spinach Rice warm as a healthy side dish or a light main course.
