Description
This Keto Vegan Coconut Lime Cauliflower Rice is a zesty, flavorful side dish that brings tropical flavors to your keto table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, about 2 pounds (900g), riced
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Begin by washing the cauliflower head and patting it dry. Cut it into florets and use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it starts to become tender.
- Pour the coconut milk into the skillet with the cauliflower, and stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cauliflower is soft and most of the coconut milk has been absorbed, add the lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat once all ingredients are well combined and the cauliflower rice is fluffy and moist.
