Learn how to make cauliflower rice from scratch, following an easy step-by-step guide. Quick to prepare and healthy, this low carb recipe is life changing.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For serving (optional): scallions, lemon zest or juice

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry cauliflower, then remove the leaves, and chop into large pieces.
  2. Place the cauliflower pieces in a food processor* and pulse a few times until it has a nice, sandy texture. Work in batches if necessary and don’t over process or it will get mushy.
  3. Optional (but recommended): Press any excess moisture from the rice by transferring the cauliflower rice to a large paper towel and squeeze to remove any remaining water. This ensures no excess moisture remains, which can make your dish soggy.
  4. Heat one Tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet placed over medium heat. Once hot, add the cauliflower rice, scallions and green peas, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper, add lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir, and enjoy!

Notes

* If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower with a box grater until it has a sandy texture.
