This cauliflower rice with spinach is simple but flavorful. You can make it within a half an hour and it’s a perfect side dish for meat or fish. Its delicate and creamy flavor surprised my family, and even my children devoured it. But don’t let the word “rice” fool you; it’s easy to make because you only need a cauliflower chopped into florets and a food processor. Don’t skip the butter because its flavor goes very well with spinach. Give it a try!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-sized cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 4 oz spinach, washed and chopped
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  • 1
    Remove the green stems in the cauliflower and separate into medium-sized florets.
  • 2
    Put a layer of cauliflower florets in the food processor and put a layer of cauliflower florets in the food processor and pulse until you get the “rice”. It takes about 18-22 pulses per batch. Repeat until you’ve processed all the florets. Don’t put them all in the processor at the same time because the sizes will be uneven. It usually takes 3-4 batches.
  • 3
    Melt the butter in a big pan.
  • 4
    Fry the garlic and chopped onion in the butter until the garlic is golden brown and the onion is soft.
  • 5
    Add the cauliflower “rice” and the spinach, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 3-5 minutes until you get the desired consistency: 3 minutes if you want a crunchy cauliflower or 5 if you want it softer.
