Paleo Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice Recipe
Simple paleo recipe for a quick, grain-free cauliflower "rice" alternative. Cilantro, lime and chicken broth make this cauli rice extra tasty!
Equipment
- Food processor or a blender recommended to "rice" the cauliflower
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower "riced" -- chopped in very small pieces about the size of grain rice
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (or you can use water)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 limes juice and zest
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro – leaves only
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop a head of cauliflower and place chunks in a food processor or pulse blender
- Pulse until it turns into particles resembling rice – this should happen pretty quickly
- In a medium-sized pan, add the 1/4 cup broth (or water) and heat over medium to medium-high heat
- Add the cauliflower "rice"
- Add the 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- The cauliflower contains a lot of moisture. You'll notice it will start to steam in the pot. Just watch it and stir occasionally
- Continue to cook the cauliflower rice for 10-12 minutes
- Taste the cauliflower for a “rice” consistency
- Once the rice is done, stir in the juice and zest of 2 limes, add the cilantro, then salt and pepper to taste
- Serve as a side dish, or as a bed for a meat or fish entrée
