INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower

For Seasoned Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup onion, or scallions, diced
  • juice of ½ lemon, or more to taste
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup or more chopped fresh herbs like green onion, chives, parsley, dill, cilantro, or basil

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Prepare the cauliflower: Be sure the cauliflower is completely dry before you begin. Cut it into large chunks, keeping the core if you like, but discard the leaves or save them for later use.
    1 medium head of cauliflower
  • Place the chopped cauliflower in a food processor and pulse it until it has a rice-like texture. Be cautious not to over-process it, or it will turn mushy. If necessary, work in batches.
  • Note: When serving as a side dish or rice substitute, it's best to cook it briefly to remove the raw taste.
  • Add flavors: In a large pan over medium heat, warm a teaspoon of olive oil and some butter. Add the onions and cauliflower, cooking for 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through. Stir in fresh herbs, then season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
