Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 large carrot
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 1 medium lemon

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower head into small florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a grater to achieve similar results. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini, and cut the carrot into thin matchsticks. Set aside with the broccoli florets.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the vegetables for another 5-7 minutes or until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the cauliflower rice, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Sauté everything together for another 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat. Add chopped fresh parsley and the juice of one lemon, stirring well to combine and enhance the flavors.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning if needed and serve the Paleo Cauliflower Rice and Vegetable Mix hot. Enjoy as a side to your favorite Paleo protein or as a standalone dish.
