Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Wash and dry the cauliflower, then cut it into florets.
Step 2
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until the texture resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process, as you don't want it to become mushy.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to turn golden brown.
Step 8
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet. Stir continuously until the spinach wilts and blends with the cauliflower rice, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Step 10
If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese for additional flavor.
Step 11
Serve hot as a main dish or a side to your favorite protein. Enjoy!
