Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Begin by washing the head of cauliflower thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Cut the cauliflower into large florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they reach a rice-like texture. Be careful not to over-process, or it may become mushy.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and aromatic.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, sautéing for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the riced cauliflower into the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture and incorporate well.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of water to help steam the cauliflower and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook the cauliflower rice over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for a couple of minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice.
Fluff the cauliflower rice with a fork and serve immediately as a wholesome side dish.
