Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 0.5 cup Almonds
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

Roughly chop the almonds.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is bubbling.

Step 4

Add the almonds to the skillet and toast them for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Finely mince the garlic and add it to the same skillet, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the garlic-infused butter and oil. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Cook the cauliflower rice for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and the excess moisture has evaporated.

Step 8

Stir in the toasted almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cauliflower rice.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat. Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the rice along with the lemon zest.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving the Keto Rice with Almonds warm.
