Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 medium Yellow onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into florets and discard the core. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble grains of rice. Avoid over-processing to prevent a mushy texture.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Dice the onion finely.
Step 3
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to turn translucent.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic, turmeric powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Stir for about 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.
Step 6
Add the cauliflower rice to the pan and mix well, ensuring the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 7
Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not overly soft.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light main course. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of coconut flakes.
