lil carb Cilantro Lime "Rice"

This recipe is a wonderful take on a popular and classic rice side dish.  Such a simple recipe and since we are using cauliflower "rice" instead of actual rice the dish comes together in minutes! Yes... MINUTES! This recipe is also a great start for a lot of tasty meals. I am going to use this "rice" as a base for low carb burrito bowls! The possibilities are endless!

The start of this dish is 1/2 a head of cauliflower that has been "riced".
See my previous blog post to see how I did it: How-to "Rice" Cauliflower.

lil carb Cilantro Lime "Rice"- Serves 2-3
1/2 medium head of cauliflower, riced
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
1lime zested
1-2 limes, juiced***
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup chicken broth OR vegetable broth
Salt & Pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

Start by adding olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
Add in the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens.
Then add the cauliflower rice and stir cooking for another minutes to warm it up.
Add in the cumin and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper.
Stir.
Add in the juice of 2 limes and stir.
Fold in half of the cilantro and half of the lime zest.
Add in the broth and stir until it is evaporated.
Transfer to a bowl and garnish with the remaining cilantro and lime zest.
Enjoy!

***After making this recipe a few times I had to update the lime amounts.  Depending on how juicy your limes are you will need to adjust how many you use. I found that if I got a juicy lime I only needed the zest and juice from one.  Taste as you go and add the juice of the second lime if you need it.
