Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g)
- 1/2 cup large onion (100g) chopped
- 1 garlic clove (5g) minced
- 1 Jalapeño deseeded & chopped (optional)
- 3 cups riced cauliflower (325g) about 1 medium head
- 2 Tbsp chicken or vegetable broth (30g)
- 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste
- Zest from 1/2 lime
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped and divided
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and set to medium heat.. When the oil is hot, add the onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until they become soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic jalapeño and cook for a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant. Stir continuously. Add the cauliflower to the skillet and stir to mix everything together well.
- Stir in the broth, salt, zest, and half of the cilantro. Turn the heat up to high and cook for another minute. The high heat will draw out excess moisture in the cauliflower so it doesn't get too mushy. Lower the heat again and add the lime juice. Mix in to the rice well.
- Taste and season with more salt as needed. Stir in the remaining cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!
