Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head, then cut it into medium-sized florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor, and pulse until the texture resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process to avoid mushy cauliflower.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle over the cauliflower rice along with the lemon juice, stirring to combine.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately as a side or as a base for your favorite paleo dishes.
