Learn how to make healthy cauliflower rice with peas in no time. This super easy side recipe is a great substitute for rice and the perfect way to sneak in more veggies into your diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (130g) green peas, frozen or fresh
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry cauliflower, then remove the leaves, and chop into large pieces.
  2. Place the cauliflower pieces in a food processor* and pulse a few times until it has a nice, sandy texture. Work in batches if necessary and don’t over process or it will get mushy.
  3. Optional (but recommended): Press any excess moisture from the rice by transferring the cauliflower rice to a large paper towel and squeeze to remove any remaining water. This ensures no excess moisture remains, which can make your dish soggy.
  4. Heat one Tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet placed over medium heat. Once hot, add the cauliflower rice, scallions and green peas, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper, add lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir, and enjoy!

Notes

* If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower with a box grater until it has a sandy texture.
