Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients

• 1 medium-large cauliflower, (cut into florets (about 4-6 cups riced))
• 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
• ½ yellow onion, (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic, (minced)
• ½ cup chopped cilantro
• 3 tablespoons lime juice ((about 1 ½ limes))
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt, (plus more to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, (plus more to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice. If you don’t have a food processor, use the large holes on a box grater to grate the florets into rice-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until the onion is softened.

3. 3

   Raise the heat to high, then add the riced cauliflower. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.

4. 4

   Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
