Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If not pre-riced, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
- Chop the medium onion and slice the small onion if using for garnish.
- Mince the garlic.
- Grate the ginger.
- Chop the red bell peppers and separate the broccoli into small florets.
- Chop the coriander leaves (cilantro).
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped medium onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped red bell peppers and broccoli florets to the skillet.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt to help the vegetables release their moisture.
- Sauté the vegetables for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
- Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, mixing it well with the other vegetables.
- Pour in 1 cup of water to help the cauliflower rice cook evenly.
- Continue to sauté for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender, and the water has mostly evaporated.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the mixture and stir well.
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.
- If using, add the sliced small onion for extra texture and garnish.
- Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves on top for a fresh touch.
- Serve the cauliflower rice vegetable sauté warm as a main dish or a side.
Tips:
- Ensure that the cauliflower is finely chopped to resemble the texture of rice. You can use a food processor for this to save time.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still retain some crunch to enhance the dish's texture and flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste. Feel free to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice based on your preference.
