Ingredients

• 1 medium Cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 0.5 cup Frozen corn
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 medium Onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice becomes tender.

Step 6

Add the frozen peas and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine with the cauliflower rice and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are heated through.

Step 7

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the low-carb rice to a serving dish.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of protein or as a light main meal.
