Ingredients

• 1 cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 5 cups fresh spinach
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower head and chop it into florets. Use a food processor to pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, grate the florets using a box grater.

Step 2

Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, and gently fold it into the cauliflower rice. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper, and stir in the lemon juice for a hint of freshness.

Step 8

Serve the Paleo Spinach Rice warm as a healthy side dish or a light main course.
