Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

Makes 6 servings (1 serving ≈ ½ cup)

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower (≈ 24 ounces or 6 cups chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 scallions, diced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (juice of 1½ limes)
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Rinse cauliflower, and pat dry. Chop into florets, and grate in food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, leave cauliflower whole, and grate with box grater. The cauliflower should resemble the size of rice or couscous.
  2. Heat a large pan on medium heat, and add olive oil, garlic, and scallions. Sauté 3–4 minutes.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high, and add cauliflower. Sauté for 5–6 minutes; remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl (before cauliflower gets mushy).
  4. Toss with sea salt, pepper, lime juice, and cilantro.
