Serves :2

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• Sea salt (optional)
• Garlic powder (optional)
• Ginger powder (optional)
• Ground black pepper (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and remove any tough stems.
2. Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse it several times until it reaches a grainy, rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process it into a puree.
3. Heat a large sauté pan over high heat and add the coconut oil. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
4. Add the riced cauliflower to the pan and sauté over medium-high heat. You can also add any optional seasonings at this point, such as sea salt, garlic powder, ginger powder, or ground black pepper, to enhance the flavor.
5. Cook the cauliflower for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes tender but not mushy. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if needed.
6. Remove the sautéed cauliflower from the pan and serve hot as a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional rice.
