Food Processor Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice

Here’s how to make Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice in a food processor:

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Optional: other Mediterranean herbs and spices such as oregano or thyme

Instructions:

1. Rinse the cauliflower and remove the leaves and stem. Cut the cauliflower into florets that are small enough to fit into the food processor.
2. Working in batches, add the cauliflower florets to the food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is broken down into rice-sized pieces. Be careful not to over-process the cauliflower or it will become mushy.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the processed cauliflower to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic and oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
5. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Add any additional Mediterranean herbs and spices to taste.
6. Once the cauliflower is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
7. Serve the Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice as a side dish or use it as a base for Mediterranean-inspired dishes such as a grain bowl or stuffed peppers.

Using a food processor to make Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice is a quick and easy way to prepare a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional rice. The addition of garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs gives this dish a delicious Mediterranean flavor.
