Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, finely chopped carrot
• 1 finely chopped celery stalk
• 1 finely chopped red bell pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into large chunks.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower chunks until they resemble the size and texture of rice grains. Be careful not to over-process. Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower using a box grater.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, chopped carrot, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, mixing all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice for brightness and acidity.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as a main dish topped with your favorite protein.
