Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower cut in florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  • Place the cauliflower florets in a bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is grated and looks like rice or couscous, being careful not to over-pulse.
  • Place a pan large enough to hold the cauliflower on the stove on medium-high heat.
  • Add olive oil, and once you see the oil shimmer, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute. Add the grated cauliflower and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, stirring frequently for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Season with salt and cumin, add lemon juice, parsley and toasted pine nuts. Serve warm.
