This tasty cauliflower "rice" is a perfect grain-free, vegan side dish. I love rice, but definitely do not feel I am missing out by substituting this dish!

Ingredients

1 head fresh cauliflower
⅓ cup olive oil
½ cup cilantro (minced)
4 Cloves garlic (minced)
2 limes (juiced)

Note

Make extra of this dish so you have some leftovers! It's great drizzled with a little soy sauce too!

Directions

Step 1
Steam the cauliflower by placing it in a pot of boiling water until tender. (You may want to break the cauliflower into smaller pieces to allow it to fit into the pot easier.) Drain in colander.
Step 2
In food processor equipped with grater insert, grate the cauliflower. You will see the grated cauliflower takes on the appearance of rice. You can also use a hand-held grater for this step.
Step 3
Heat oil in saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and allow to infuse oil for approximately 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add cauliflower "rice" and lime juice to oil. Allow rice to sit without stirring for 3-5 minutes. Stir and allow to sit again for another 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Add chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Mix and serve. This is also really good with a little sprinkle of soy sauce over the rice!
