Keto Rice with Nuts

Keto Rice with Nuts is a delightful twist on traditional Lebanese rice, using cauliflower rice to keep it low-carb while still delivering a rich flavor profile. This dish is enhanced with a mix of nuts and aromatic spices, making it a perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower rice - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Pine nuts - 30 grams
• Almonds (sliced) - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cardamom - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable broth - 250 ml
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

3. In the same saucepan, add the cauliflower rice, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom. Stir to combine.
