Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the cauliflower thoroughly. Break the cauliflower into florets.
- Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process; you want the pieces to resemble grains of rice.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it melts and starts to shimmer.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir well to coat the cauliflower with the coconut oil.
- Pour the lime juice over the cauliflower rice. Stir well to ensure an even distribution.
- Allow the cauliflower rice to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and absorbs most of the liquid.
- Sprinkle in the chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) and a dash of salt. Stir everything together to combine the flavors.
- Taste the rice and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Your Cilantro Lime Coconut Cauliflower Rice is now ready to be served!
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy it as a side dish, or as a base for your favorite proteins or vegetables.
Tips:
- Ensure your cauliflower is finely grated to achieve a rice-like texture. You can use a food processor or a hand grater.
- For maximum flavor, use fresh lime juice and fresh coriander leaves.
- Adjust the lime juice and salt according to your taste preference.
- Serve the cauliflower rice immediately after preparation to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
- Add some more vegetables or protein to make it a complete meal.
