Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cauliflower
For seasoned cauliflower rice:
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped scallions
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Make sure your cauliflower is fully dry. Chop the cauliflower into large pieces. You can include the cores, but discard the leaves or save for another use.
  2. Place the cauliflower pieces in a food processor and pulse until it has the texture of rice. Work in batches if necessary and don’t over process or it will get mushy.
  3. Use in any recipe that calls specifically for riced cauliflower. Continue following that recipe’s instructions.
  4. If you plan to serve your cauliflower as a side dish or use it in place of regular rice, I recommend lightly cooking it and seasoning it to take off the raw bite.
  5. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and cauliflower and sauté until heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice to help remove any bitterness from the raw cauliflower.
