Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the head of cauliflower thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into large florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
Step 3
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they reach a rice-like texture. Be careful not to over-process, or it may become mushy.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and aromatic.
Step 6
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, sautéing for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the riced cauliflower into the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
Step 8
Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture and incorporate well.
Step 9
Pour in 2 tablespoons of water to help steam the cauliflower and cover the skillet with a lid.
Step 10
Cook the cauliflower rice over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Step 11
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for a couple of minutes to allow the steam to finish cooking the rice.
Step 12
Fluff the cauliflower rice with a fork and serve immediately as a wholesome side dish.
