Clara's Cooking | Cauliflower Rice (Whole30)

This is a great side dish, especially to chicken. Much simpler than it may seem. To be honest, I was unable to use a food processor (my Cuisinart blade was recalled and I'm STILL waiting on a replacement grrrr), so I just finely chopped the cauliflower by hand. A bit messy, but totally doable.

Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients:

1 large head cauliflower, finely chopped
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can coconut milk (12oz)
1/2-3/4 cup chopped cilantro (or may substitute parsley, but I LOVE cilantro with coconut!)
Dash of lime juice
Olive oil, coconut oil, or ghee
Salt, black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat large pan to medium. Saute garlic and onion in olive oil until slightly browned.
2. Add cauliflower and mix well. 
3. After about 5 minutes, add coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until cauliflower is cooked.
4. Gently mix in lime juice and half of cilantro. Top with remainder of cilantro when ready to serve.

Tips:
 - To reduce fat, replace 1/2 of coconut milk with water. The dish will be less decadent, but still tasty.
 - To switch things up, substitute other citrus for lime, such as lemon, orange, or calamondin juice.
- To make the cauliflower less soft, squeeze excess water out of the cauliflower in a cheesecloth after blending (before cooking).

Enjoy!
