Keto Rice with Herbs is a fragrant and flavorful Lebanese dish that substitutes traditional rice with cauliflower rice, making it a perfect low-carb option. Infused with fresh herbs and spices, this dish is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head (about 600g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced

• Parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Mint - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into florets.
2. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
