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

Method
 

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. Note: When serving as a side dish or rice substitute, it's best to cook it briefly to remove the raw taste.
  4. 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.
