Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process to avoid a mushy consistency.
Chop the green onions and set aside for garnish.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to coat with the oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender but not mushy.
Season the cauliflower rice with sea salt and garlic powder, mixing well. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame seeds.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo-friendly white rice alternative!
