Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
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
- 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.
- Heat a large pan on medium heat, and add olive oil, garlic, and scallions. Sauté 3–4 minutes.
- 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).
- Toss with sea salt, pepper, lime juice, and cilantro.
