Ingredients

  • 4 cups (1 L) cauliflower florets
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green onions (8 medium)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) sea salt flakes
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) fresh thyme leaves

Steps

  •  
    1
    In food processor, place 1 cup (250 mL) of the cauliflower. Cover, and pulse until coarsely ground to the size of grains of rice. Transfer to large bowl; repeat in three more batches with remaining cauliflower. There should be about 3 1/2 cups (875 mL) cauliflower.

    2
    Place 12-inch (30 cm) skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of the oil, then add green onions and salt. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until green onions soften. Add remaining 1 tablespoon (15 mL) oil and the cauliflower; toss to coat. Cook 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly toasted and dried out.

    3
    Add chicken broth. Heat to simmer until all liquid evaporates. Stir in parsley and thyme.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Be careful not to over-process the raw cauliflower in the food processor. You'll end up with more of a couscous than a rice if you take it too far.
  • Tip 2
    Experiment with different flavours and herbs based on what you're serving with the cauliflower. For example, try green onions and cilantro when serving with Mexican cuisine.
  • Tip 3
