Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Remove the leaves and the stem from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into chunks and grate it using a box grater or pulse in a food processor until it resembles the size and texture of rice. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, minced, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stir well to coat it with oil, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes. Drain and add them to the skillet with the cauliflower rice.
Step 5
Add the parsley, basil, and dill to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the cauliflower rice and broccoli are tender.
Step 7
Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Stir once more to combine.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main.
