Ingredients

1 medium-sized cauliflower
2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
2 cups pico de gallo
Salt to taste

Instructions

Step
1

Remove cauliflower’s base and divide it into medium-sized florets.
Step
2

Place a layer of florets in a food processor and pulse a few times until you have the “rice”. Repeat until you’ve used all the cauliflower. Don’t put all the florets in at the same time because the sizes won’t be uniform. It usually takes 3-4 batches.
Step
3

Melt the butter in a big pan.
Step
4

Fry the garlic in the butter until it’s golden brown. This will only take a few seconds.
Step
5

Add the pico de gallo and cook until the tomato changes from a vibrant red to an orange color.
Step
6

Pour the cauliflower “rice” over the sauce, season to taste and cook for 3-5 minutes until you get the desired consistency. Cook it for 3 minutes if you want a crunchy rice and 5 if you want it softer.
