The Ingredients

Serves 4.

The Rice

  • 1 headCauliflower (or 16oz bag frozen riced)
  • 1 tbspOlive oil or butter
  • 4 clovesGarlic, minced
  • Salt & pepperTo taste
  • 2 tbspFresh parsley, chopped

The Method

1

If using fresh: Cut cauliflower into florets. Pulse in food processor until rice-sized (don't over-process).

2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3

Add cauliflower rice. Spread in an even layer. Let it sit and cook 3-4 minutes without stirring (get some color!).

Don't Stir Too Much

Let it get slightly golden and charred for best flavor. Constant stirring = mushy.

4

Stir, then add garlic. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.

5

Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Add parsley.

6

Serve under protein or as a base for bowls.

Variations

Cilantro Lime

Add lime juice and cilantro. Perfect for Mexican bowls.

Fried Rice Style

Add soy sauce, scrambled egg, frozen peas.

Cheesy

Stir in parmesan at the end. Guilty pleasure, still low carb.
