Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower large, chopped into florets, leaves and stalk removed and discarded
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 scallions green onions/shallots, sliced finely
- 2 cloves garlic
- ⅛ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a blender (or food processor) add 1 cup of cauliflower florets at a time (working in batches) and pulse each batch quickly about 3-5 times or until the cauliflower is the same consistency of rice. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with remaining cauliflower until all done.
- Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, onions, scallions (shallots) and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes on low-medium heat, until soft and fragrant.
- Add the cauliflower "rice": season with salt and pepper to your tastes; increase stove temperature to high heat. Add the lime juice and cilantro; stir mixture and cook, while stirring frequently for about 6 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender-crisp (soft on the inside; crispy on the outside).
- Serve!
Notes
- If you don't mind the extra carbs, cauliflower rice can be switched out for regular rice.
