Cilantro Lime Cauliflower "Rice"

Produce
1 medium head Cauliflower
1/4 cup Cilantro, fresh
2 Garlic cloves
1 1/2 Limes
2 Scallions

Baking & Spices
Kosher salt and pepper

Oils &Vinegars
1 tbsp Olive oil, extra-virgin

Directions:

Remove the core and let the cauliflower dry completely. Coarsely chop into florets, then place half of the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous – don't over process or it will get mushy. Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.

Heat a large saute pan over medium heat, add olive oil, scallions and garlic and sauté about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft.

Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cauliflower "rice" to the saute pan. Cover and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and place in a medium bowl; toss with fresh cilantro and lime juice to taste.
Makes 5 servings.
