Where do you sit down on the whole cauliflower rice thing? Are you seasoned or in opposition to?

I’ve come to learn that people at the internet have very robust evaluations in terms of vegetables imitating grains. Like….aggressively so. And i get it! I definitely do! sometimes you simply want a bowl of carb-y, scrumptious pasta or rice to get you thru the day.

I’m not going to say that zoodles have no detectable variations from actual spaghetti and cauliflower rice is the precise equal as rice. however actually – you’re missing out on a whole lot of scrumptious tasting foods if you’re not on board!

And if that isn’t sufficient to persuade you that’s cool – more lasagna spirals for me!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
• 1 large clove garlic (about 1 teaspoon)
• 1 green jalapeño deseeded & chopped (optional)
• 3 cups riced cauliflower (about 1 medium head)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable stock
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or as needed)
• zest from 1/2 lime
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped and divided
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot add the onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes on a medium heat or until they become soft and translucent. 
2. Add the garlic jalapeño and cook for a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant. Stir the whole time.
3. Add the cauliflower to the skillet. Stir to mix everything together well. 
4. Stir in the vegetable stock, about half the cilantro salt and zest. Turn the heat up to high and cook for another minute. The high heat will draw out excess moisture in the cauliflower so it doesn't get too mushy. Lower the heat again and add the lime juice. Mix in to the rice well. 
5. Taste and season with more salt as needed. Stir in the remaining cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!
