Ingredients

• 1 cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and chop it into chunks. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like texture. You can also use a box grater if a food processor is unavailable.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and slightly golden.

Step 3

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and oil.

Step 4

Cook the cauliflower rice, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until it is tender but not mushy.

Step 5

Stir in the fresh parsley, cilantro, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs throughout the cauliflower rice.

Step 6

Remove from heat and add the lemon juice over the top. Stir once more to incorporate the flavors.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish to complement your Whole30 meals.
