Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower 2 pounds, cut into 1-inch florets (6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot minced
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Working in 2 batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until finely ground into 1/4- to 1/8-inch pieces. This should take 6 to 8 pulses, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the minced shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower, broth, and salt.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is almost completely dry, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the minced parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
