Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head, then cut it into large chunks.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower in batches until it resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring frequently, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
Remove from heat, add fresh parsley and lemon juice, and stir to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Serve as a side dish or as a base instead of rice in your favorite meals.
