Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cauliflower , stems removed and cut into florets (any size)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 2 scallions , finely minced
  • 1 large garlic clove , minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt ( or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper ( or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup of cooked frozen edamame beans or fava beans
  • 1/2 cup of fresh dill leaves , minced finely - divided into 1/4 cups
  • About 3/4 cup of boiling water (depending on the size of the cauliflower head)

Instructions

  1. Place all the cauliflower florets in the bowl of a food processor. Don't worry if they are not the same size, they will get pulsed.
  2. Pulse the cauliflower to your desired size of “rice” or make them smaller like the size of couscous.
  3. Heat a medium sized skillet (that has a lid) over medium high heat and add the olive oil.
  4. When the oil is hot, add the scallions and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add the cauliflower rice and sauté for another 30 seconds.
  5. Add half the dill to the cauliflower mixture and the beans and then add water just about enough to reach the cauliflower but not cover it ( 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup).
  6. Season the rice and cover the skillet. Lower the heat to very low and let the cauliflower rice absorb all the water until it cooks through and becomes rice tender.
  7. Turn off the heat, uncover the skillet and fluff the rice with the remaining dill.
  8. Adjust seasoning and serve.
