Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head and chop it into large florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the food processor.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to heat for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, spreading it evenly over the skillet, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and starts to turn golden.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and gently toss with the cauliflower rice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
Finish the dish by adding the lemon juice, then mix well to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Whole30 Cauliflower 'Rice' with Spinach warm. Enjoy!
