  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or avocado oil, quantity 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 cups cilantro leaves and stalks

  • 2 green onions chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the cauliflower florets into your food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower turns into a rice-type texture. You might need to do it in batches. Set aside.
  2. Combine ¼ cup of olive oil, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, green onions, salt and pepper in clean processor until smooth.
  3. Heat a large, heavy-based pot over medium heat. Drizzle in the rest of the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic then sauté for 3–5 minutes. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5 minutes more. Turn the heat down, cover with the lid, and let it steam for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the lid and scrape in all of the green sauce. Mix together. Replace on low heat for a few minutes.
