Broccoli Rice
Servings: 4 people
As versatile as cauliflower rice is, sometimes you just want something different. Enter broccoli rice! It's a super easy to make side dish and just as versatile. Paleo, Whole30, and AIP friendly
Ingredients
- 1 head fresh Broccoli (or 4 cups florets)
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, or Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- Chop the fresh broccoli up into florets that will fit down the chute of your food processor. If using the stalks, peel the outer layers off using a peeler.
- Put the shredder blade in your food processor. (This is my favorite way, but you can also just use the S-blade as well. If you do this you'll need to make sure you aren't turning the broccoli into broccoli puree though. Best to do in batches!)
- With the food processor running, send a handful of broccoli down the chute, replace the chute plunger thing (yes, I know there is a name for this but I have NO idea what that might be!) and push down. This will create the "rice."
- Heat some oil (I use avocado oil) in a pan over medium heat. If desired, add a clove or two of minced garlic and saute for a minute until fragrant. Then add the broccoli rice to the pan. Add a pinch of sea salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. This step not only makes the rice warm but also removes a lot of the in-your-face taste of raw broccoli. Serve!
