- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice becomes tender.
Season the cauliflower rice with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the toasted almonds and finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately as a side dish or a main course.
