Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into florets and remove the core. In batches, pulse the florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process; you want a coarse, rice-like texture.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the parsley, basil, and dill.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes. The cauliflower should be tender, but not mushy.
Step 5
Season the cauliflower rice with salt and black pepper, and stir well to combine.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and add the fresh parsley, basil, dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss the herb rice to evenly distribute the herbs and lemon flavor.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite protein.
