Cilantro Lime Cauliflower "Rice"
This light and fluffy cauliflower rice is a versatile, tasty side dish. The cauliflower is chopped into rice-sized pieces and then the flavor is enhanced with seasonings, fresh lime juice, and of course umami.
Servings 4 cups (1/2 cup each)
Ingredients
- 1 medium-head cauliflower cut into small florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 limes squeeze the juice (about ¼ cup juice)
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon umami seasoning (MSG)
Instructions
-
Chop the cauliflower by grating it in the larger holes on a grated or a food processor or gently pulse it in a blender.
-
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or large pot. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden brown, about 6 to 9 minutes.
-
Transfer to a serving plate. Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and umami seasoning; gently combine. Serve immediately while the cilantro is still fresh. If you are saving the cauliflower for later or another day, leave that portion without cilantro and add the cilantro right before serving.
