Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the cauliflower rice by removing the leaves and stems from the cauliflower. Cut it into manageable florets.
Step 2
Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and resembles the texture of rice. If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower using a box grater.
Step 3
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Add the frozen peas and corn to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
Step 7
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to mix everything evenly.
Step 8
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 9
Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender but still has a bite to it.
Step 10
Remove from heat, stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice to add a burst of freshness.
Step 11
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
