CILANTRO LIME CAULIFLOWER RICE

Low carb and paleo friendly Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice – make it in 20 minutes or less for a healthy & filling side dish! Gluten Free + Whole 30 + Vegan.

From now on it’s a simple process – just sauté your onion, garlic and jalapeno until soft. Stir within the cauliflower then mix in some vegetable stock for added flavour along side the cilantro & lime. Im getting hungry again just brooding about it!

CILANTRO LIME CAULIFLOWER RICE

The whole thing takes 20 minutes at the most to form and makes for an ideal side dish!

For a few of meatless options you'll serve this alongside my Sweet Potato Enchiladas/Enchilada Casserole. Whatever way you've got it – I hope you enjoy it the maximum amount as we do!

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
• 3 cups riced cauliflower (about 1 medium head)
• 1 large clove garlic (about 1 teaspoon)
• 1 green jalapeno deseeded & chopped (optional)
• 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!
