Chrissy Teigen's Garlicky Cauliflower "Rice"

Servings: 6 servings

Time:

Ingredients:

1 medium head cauliflower (1½ to 2 pounds)

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Pinch of cayenne pepper

¼ cup chopped fresh basil, cilantro, scallions, parsley—whatever green stuff you want

Directions:

1. Remove the leaves from the bottom of the cauliflower head. Cut the cauliflower in half and grate the cauliflower head on the large holes of a box grater until you reach the stem. You should have about 6 cups grated cauliflower. (Or you can cut off the florets and pulse them in two batches in a food processor until they’re ricey, about 30 seconds per batch.)

2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and light golden, about 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower, salt, black pepper and cayenne and cook, stirring, until the “rice” is tender, 6 to 7 minutes (a minute less for more al dente, a minute or two more for softer). Stir in the herbs and serve warm.
