Easily transform cauliflower into a healthy, low-carb rice substitute! With the olive oil and browned onions, the cauliflower has enough flavor to satisfy by itself, and it can also be a base for stir fries, beans and rice or anything else you would eat with rice. #nikicuisine

Ingredients

25 minutes
4 servings
  1. 1large head cauliflower, separated into 1-inch florets
  2. 3 tablespoonsolive oil
  3. I medium onion, finely diced
  4. Kosher salt
  5. 2 tablespoonsfresh parsley leaves, finely chopped

Cooking Instructions

25 minutes
  1. 1

    Trim the cauliflower florets, cutting away as much stem as possible. In 3 batches, break up the florets into a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles couscous.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. At the first wisp of smoke from the oil, add the onions, and stir to coat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown at the edges and have softened, about 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower, and stir to combine. Add 1 teaspoon salt, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower has softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  3. 3

    Spoon the cauliflower into a large serving bowl, garnish with the parsley (I substituted finely chopped cilantro leaves), sprinkle with the lemon juice and season to taste with salt. Serve warm.

  4. 4

    Serving suggestion - with Bolognese sauce.
