  • 1 small Onion chopped
  • 1 Clove Garlic minced

  • Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, another 30 seconds to a minute. At this point, the onions should be translucent and mostly cooked through.

  • Add the salt, lime juice, and lime zest and stir until combined. Sauté, stirring continuously, for a few minutes.
    TIP:
    If there is too much moisture in the skillet at this time, turn the heat up higher...this will draw out that excess moisture from the cauliflower and avoid mushy 'rice'!

Notes

You can rice the cauliflower yourself by pulsing it in a food processor until it resembles rice or you can buy the pre-packaged already riced cauliflower in the produce or frozen section of the grocery store.
