Ingredients

Instructions

  • Use a vegetable peeler to peel the thick parts of the broccoli stem. Cut the broccoli into large chunks
  • Prepare a food processor with the "S" blade, add the broccoli into the bowl of the processor. Pulse until the broccoli is grated and looks like rice or couscous, being careful not to over-pulse.
  • Place a pan large enough to hold the broccoli on the stove on medium-high heat.
  • Add olive oil, and once you see the oil shimmer, add the grated broccoli and saute for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and cover, cook for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, season with salt and pepper and any other seasoning, and serve.

Notes

Storage: You can make a large batch of broccoli rice to use for recipes throughout the week. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container for 5-6 days. 
Freezer Instructions: Pack the broccoli rice tightly inside a freezer-safe bag or container. It should last at least 6 months.
