Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 medium Red onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Chop the cauliflower into florets and process them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to become translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight crunch.

Step 5

Stir in the cauliflower rice and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 6

Season the mixture with ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice.

Step 8

Serve the keto-friendly faux bulgur warm as a main dish or as a side to your favorite protein.
