Mexican Cauliflower “Rice”
Published on September 24, 2016
Ingredients
- 1 small head cauliflower, grated/riced (~ 4 cups)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 medium roma tomatoes, small dice
- ½ jalapeno, seeds and membrane removed, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Shred the cauliflower in a food processor using the grater disk (the attachment with the holes, not the blade). Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions, tomatoes and jalapeno and sauté until just tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cauliflower, sauté until the cauliflower is just tender, about 2 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir to evenly coat the vegetables and cook for 1 minute or until heated through. Add chopped cilantro and serve.
