Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head (approximately 600g)
• Ghee or coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
2. Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.
3. Heat ghee or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

7. Add the processed cauliflower rice to the skillet, mix well, and season with salt.
