Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice
Yield: 2-4 servings | from our friends at LHTC
INGREDIENTS:
For the Cauliflower Rice
- 1 Head Cauliflower, cut into large chunks
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
- 1 cup Yellow Onion, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 Lemon, juiced and zested
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup Feta, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Pine Nuts, lightly toasted
For the Lemony Yogurt Sauce
- 1/2 cup Plain Yogurt
- 1-2 teaspoons Lemon Juice, to taste
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
- Make the cauliflower rice: Use the Gadget of the Month, the Veggie Ricer, to rice the cauliflower. Alternatively, in a food processor with the blade attachment, pulse large chunks of cauliflower into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a large, pre-heated frying pan over medium heat, add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until just beginning to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook the mixture until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, another 2-3 minutes. Add the cauliflower “rice” to the pan along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until cauliflower is cooked and tender, another 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and taste again for salt and pepper.
- Remove from the pan to a serving dish and toss with parsley. Top with feta and pine nuts.
- Make the lemony yogurt sauce: mix together all ingredients and drizzle over rice. Serve.
