Spanish Cauliflower Rice

Method

  1. 1

    Remove the green stems from the cauliflower and chop the head in half. Using a box grater or food processor, grate the whole head of cauliflower (one half at a time).

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil to medium-high heat and sauté the onion until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the grated cauliflower, garlic, and jalapeño to the skillet and stir consistently until the cauliflower begins to cook down and turn brown, about 5-8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to medium, add the kale leaves and stir them into the cauliflower rice. Cover the skillet, allowing the kale leaves to soften about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the diced tomatoes, salt and chili powder, and stir them into the "rice."

  6. 6

    Continue cooking another 2 to 3 minutes to allow some of the moisture to burn off, stirring consistently.

  7. 7

    Serve the Spanish Cauliflower "Rice" alongside your favorite meal!
