Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 medium, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 whole, juiced Lime
Instructions
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until it resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.
In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour the coconut milk over the cauliflower rice and stir to evenly distribute.
Season with salt and black pepper, and stir occasionally.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy and the coconut milk is mostly absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light meal.
