Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup chopped Fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons minced Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by removing the leaves and the thick stem from the cauliflower, and cut it into medium-sized florets.
Step 2
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they resemble rice grains. Be careful not to over-process to avoid turning it into a puree.
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, stirring to coat the rice with the olive oil and garlic.
Step 5
Cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped parsley, cilantro, and minced thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cauliflower rice, mixing thoroughly to combine the flavors.
Step 8
Serve the herb-infused cauliflower rice warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings.
