Cauliflower Rice:

  • 1/2 head of cauliflower
  • 1 TBS coconut oil (any oil will do but I use coconut for Paleo)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1tsp Sea Salt
  • 1tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Rosemary

I used half of a head of Cauliflower to serve 2 people. It was enough for 4 servings!

Process:

1.) Wash cauliflower and de-root it.
2.) Cut it in half and place florets in a food processor. Grind it until it is a small rice consistency.
3.) In a skillet add oil and garlic. Allow to saute for 3 min.
4.) Add Cauliflower rice to the skillet and allow to Saute for 5 more minutes. Mix often and do not let it brown.
5.) While the rice is cooking you can add fresh seasonings. I chose to add Pepper, Rosmary and Sea salt.
