Ingredients

•

5 cups

Chopped Cauliflower

•

1/2 Tbsp

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

•

1 tsp

Garlic , minced

•

2 Tbsp

Water

Cooking Instructions

In a food processor, pulse the Cauliflower (5 cups) until it becomes “rice”.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 Tbsp) . Fry the Garlic (1 tsp) until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add the cauliflower and Water (2 Tbsp) to skillet. Cover the skillet, and steam the cauliflower until tender but still a bit crunchy, about 3 minutes. If you like a crispier texture, continue to cook the rice until it begins to turn golden brown on the bottom- another 3-5 minutes. Careful not to overcook!

Serve warm with toppings or additions of choice.

Author's Notes

Be careful of overcooking or your cauliflower will turn to mush. However, if you overcook the cauliflower, mash it up instead with cream and a dollop of butter for mashed cauliflower, a great mashed potato replacement.
