Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the cauliflower thoroughly before preparing rice.
  • Chop or pull the cauliflower apart into florets. Smaller pieces will chop more evenly in the food processor.
  • Add florets to a food processor, and pulse until broken down into rice sized grains.
  • To prepare rice, heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the cauliflower rice, and stir fry for 4-7 minutes, until heated through. Using high heat is necessary to keep the rice from getting watery.
  • Season with salt and pepper, and serve with stews, curries, or stir fries.
  • Store uncooked cauliflower rice in the refrigerator in an air tight container for 5-7 days.

Notes

Be sure to evenly process the cauliflower into rice sized grains. Using grains that are too big or too small means the rice won't have the right texture.
Add seasonings or spices to make this your own!
  • fresh lime and chopped cilantro
  • lemon juice and fresh herbs
  • cumin, chili powder, and chopped tomatoes
