Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower reaches a rice-like consistency, taking care not to over-process.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with more salt and lime juice to taste if necessary.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite Whole30 main courses.
