MEXICAN CAULIFLOWER RICE



Mexican Cauliflower Rice image

Properly prepared, cauliflower rice is chewy, nutty, and deliciously addictive. For best flavor and texture, make the rice from scratch using a fresh head of cauliflower. Cauliflower happily absorbs seasonings, so be generous - jalapeno, garlic, tomato paste, lime juice, and cilantro are each prominent but balanced in our Mexican cauliflower rice. This dish is both easy and flexible, make in one skillet, and ready in under 30 minutes.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head cauliflower (riced)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium white onion (finely diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 jalapeno (seeded and minced)
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
3 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice

Steps:

  • Rice the cauliflower. Slice the florets from the head of the cauliflower. Fit a food processor with the s-blade. Place half the florets into the bowl of the food processor and pulse until riced, scraping down the sides once halfway through to catch any larger pieces. Scrape out the riced cauliflower and repeat with the remaining florets.
  • Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and sautee until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and jalapeno and sautee until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, salt, cumin, and paprika and stir into the vegetables.
  • Add the cauliflower rice and stir continuously until all ingredients are incorporated. Continue sautéing, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower releases its liquid and is dry and fluffy.
  • Remove the Mexican cauliflower rice from heat. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Serve immediately.
