Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower (for ricing)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup canned black soybeans (rinsed and drained)
• 0.25 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 wedge lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and use a food processor to pulse them into rice-sized grains. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower for convenience.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the turmeric, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Toss to coat the cauliflower in the seasoning, then cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the black soybeans and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 3-4 more minutes, until the beans are heated through and the broth has mostly evaporated.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve the keto yellow rice with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty kick, if desired.
