Simple Sautéed Cauliflower "Rice"

Step 1

Remove leaves from cauliflower and cut up into large chunks (some of the stem is fine).

Step 2

Place in food processor (do this in batches if necessary - don't overfill the food processor) and lightly pulse until broken down into rice size pieces.  Better to have it a little chunky than soggy.  If it's too soggy, it won't brown.

Step 3

Bring a large pan to medium high heat and enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

When hot, add onions.  Cook ~ 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent.  Add garlic and cook ~ 1 minute or until fragrant.  Remove onions & garlic from pan.

Step 5

Add cauliflower, salt, and pepper and cook uncovered ` 6-8 minutes without disturbing.  Add a touch of oil if it's starting to dry out.  Adjust heat accordingly - look for a brownish crust before stirring.

Step 6

Stir and cook an additional 6-8 minutes uncovered or until desired tenderness.  Mix in cooked onions and garlic.

Step 7

Add salt and crushed red pepper to taste.  Garnish with parmesan cheese if desired.  Happy Eating! Beckie
