How To Make Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower rice is one of the easiest low-carb replacements for regular rice. It uses just a few simple ingredients and takes about 15 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
- 5.3 oz cauliflower
- ½ tbsp butter
- ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into florets, wash them well, and drain thoroughly in a colander.
- Add the florets to a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice sized grains. Do not overprocess.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. When melted, add the cauliflower rice and season with salt. Mix well.
- Spread the cauliflower rice evenly in the pan, reduce the heat to low, and cover with a lid. Cook for 7–8 minutes until tender, lifting the lid every 2 minutes to stir and prevent sticking.
- Once the cauliflower is tender and evenly cooked, remove it from the heat and serve immediately.
