Preparation
1
Remove your cauliflower leaves and chop the cauliflower into large pieces.
2
Fill your blender about halfway with cauliflower pieces (do not overfill) and add cold water to just cover the pieces.
3
Pulse a few times until the cauliflower feels like rice. (This usually takes a few short bursts — be careful not to overprocess, or it will become mushy.)
4
Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer to drain out the water. Press the rice against the sides of the strainer to squeeze out any moisture.
5
Continue to work in batches until you’ve processed all the cauliflower.
6
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and place over medium heat. Add in the scallions and cauliflower rice (in batches if necessary).
7
Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5–8 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender with a slight bite but not mushy.
8
Season with salt, pepper, and optional lime juice and toss.
