Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into florets and wash them thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they resemble the size and texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process them.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
Step 5
Pour the coconut milk into the skillet, stirring to combine it with the cauliflower rice.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer on low heat for another 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the 'rice' to absorb the coconut milk.
Step 8
Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent sticking, cooking until the cauliflower is tender.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the chopped fresh cilantro, and mix well.
Step 10
Serve hot as a delicious, keto-friendly side dish.
