Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (large, roughly chopped) Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) Onion
- 1 large (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 medium (diced) Zucchini
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (sliced, toasted) Almonds
Instructions
Place the chopped cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it resembles small grains like bulgur. Avoid over-processing.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, mixing well with the sautéed vegetables. Increase the heat slightly and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the lemon juice and toss everything to combine thoroughly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top. Garnish with toasted almonds before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or a side salad option.
