    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!
