Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 1 large, grated Carrot
- 1 medium, diced Zucchini
- 1 small, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.25 cup, chopped Parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles fluffy couscous granules. Work in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the processor.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Add the diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, diced zucchini, and finely chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. The cauliflower should be heated through but not mushy.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, mint, and lemon juice.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and mix well to combine.
Step 8
Serve warm, or let cool and serve at room temperature for a refreshing dish. Enjoy!
