Description

This Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice is a delicious, flavorful, and low-carb side dish that is made quickly and easily with straightforward ingredients.


Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 2 Tablespoons (30 milliliters) avocado oil
  • 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, de-seeded, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 grams) minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro, divided
  • 2 Tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian and vegan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lime, zested then juiced


Instructions

  1. Pulse Cauliflower: To a food processor, add cauliflower florets and pulse until riced. (Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to divide the florets into 2 batches.) Set aside.
  2. Saute Onion And Jalapeño: In a large pan over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, add in onion and, optionally, jalapeño and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add Minced Garlic: Add in minced garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds.
  4. Cook Cauliflower Rice: Increase stovetop heat to high, add in cauliflower rice, half of the cilantro, chicken broth, salt, and pepper, and stir until combined. Cook on high heat for 1 minute.
  5. Final Steps And Serve: Remove pan from heat, then stir in remaining cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice.
