Prep Time20 minutes
WORK TIME20 minutes
Cuisine: World
Servings: 4 yields

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower ~800g
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 1 cup 160g peas
  • 1 onion
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 3-5 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • DIRECTIONS
    1. Cut the cauliflower into small florets/Chunks. Working in batches, place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse (in 1-2 second pulses) until the cauliflower has the texture of rice or couscous – don’t over process or it will get mushy. Set aside.
    2. In a large pan heat olive oil, and chopped onion and sauté until slightly golden. Add crushed garlic and diced carrots, cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender. And peas and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
    3. Add cauliflower “rice”, season with salt and pepper. Add some olive oil (optional) and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes., until the cauliflower has softened. Don’t overcook.
    4. Serve warm. Enjoy!
    Notes:
    • If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower with a grater.
    • Instead of carrots and peas you can use any vegetables that you like.
