Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by removing the leaves and core of the cauliflower. Cut it into small florets and wash thoroughly.
Step 2
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they achieve a rice-like texture. Be careful not to over-process; you want small, rice-sized pieces.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Step 7
Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 8
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cauliflower rice to steam for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes tender but not mushy.
Step 9
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to allow any excess moisture to evaporate, stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving hot.
