Grate the head of cauliflower with a box grater or use a hand-powered food chopper.

In a Time Pinch?

Buy bagged cauliflower rice but it will not be as fresh!

How Do I Use Frozen Cauliflower Rice?

Cook it the same way you would fresh, you don’t need to thaw, but do add a couple more minutes of cook time.

DIRECTIONS

1. Make the cauliflower rice: In a food processor with the blade attachment, pulse large chunks of cauliflower into small pieces. Set aside.

2. In a large, pre-heated frying pan over medium heat, add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until just beginning to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook the mixture until the onions are golden brown and caramelized another 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the cauliflower “rice” to the pan along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until cauliflower is cooked and tender, another 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and taste again for salt and pepper.

4. Remove from the pan to a serving dish and toss with parsley. Top with feta and pine nuts.

5. Make the lemony yogurt sauce: mix together all ingredients and drizzle over rice. Serve.
