- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head, then cut it into medium-sized florets.
Step 2
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor, and pulse until the texture resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process to avoid mushy cauliflower.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Step 6
Cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 8
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle over the cauliflower rice along with the lemon juice, stirring to combine.
Step 9
Remove from the heat and serve immediately as a side or as a base for your favorite paleo dishes.
