Recipe: Cauliflower Rice
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized head of cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: herbs or spices of your choice for additional flavor (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, etc.)
Instructions:
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Discard the tough core.
- Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process, as it may turn into a puree.
- Heat the olive oil or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender. Be cautious not to overcook it, as it may turn mushy.
- Season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices of your choice. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the cauliflower rice as a side dish or as a base for stir-fries, curries, or any other recipes that call for rice.
