Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Lime zest
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into smaller florets.
Step 2
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice grains. Do this in batches if necessary.
Step 3
Finely chop the garlic cloves and slice the green onions. Set them aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and stir well to coat it with the oil and garlic.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower 'rice' is tender and the coconut milk has mostly been absorbed.
Step 8
Stir in the sliced green onions and lime zest. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the low-carb coconut milk rice with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or a low-carb main course.
