A great rice replacement as part of your cleanse diet can be the Cilantro Lime Cauliflower “Rice”
INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium head (about 24 oz.) cauliflower, rinsed
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 scallions, diced
- Pepper to taste
- 1-1/2 limes
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
DIRECTIONS
Remove the core and let
cauliflower dry completely.
Coarsely chop into florets. Place half 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 sauté 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 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.
Remove from heat and place in a medium bowl,
and toss with fresh cilantro, lime juice, and pepper to
taste.
