Garlic and onion cauliflower rice is a quick and easy side dish that's perfect for any meal. This low-carb, flavorful alternative to traditional rice can be whipped up in minutes and pairs well with a variety of main dishes.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If you are using a whole cauliflower, chop it into small florets.
- Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, you can use pre-riced cauliflower from the store.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet with the garlic and onion.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is dry before processing it into rice to avoid a soggy texture.
- Use a food processor for uniformly riced cauliflower, but if you don’t have one, a box grater works just as well.
- Be mindful not to overcook the cauliflower rice to maintain its slightly crunchy texture.
- For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
With just a few simple ingredients and steps, garlic and onion cauliflower rice is an excellent side dish to complement any meal. It's quick to prepare, healthy, and delicious, making it a fantastic option for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
