Broccoli Rice Recipe.

Ingredients:

1
small
broccoli head (about 8 ounces)

Recipe Instructions:

Remove any tough, woody parts from the broccoli stalk.
If the outer skin of the stalk is very tough, you can peel it with a vegetable peeler.
Chop the remaining stalk and the florets into 1-inch pieces.
Place into a food processor and pulse until the broccoli is broken up into tiny rice-sized pieces.
This should yield about 2 cups of “riced” broccoli.
Stop there and use your broccoli rice in any recipe that calls for broccoli rice or cauliflower rice.
To make Cilantro-Lime Broccoli Rice, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and brush with olive oil.
Add the riced broccoli, the scallions, garlic, cilantro stems, salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
Cook and stir for 1 minute, until lightly warmed but still bright green.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cumin, lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Stir in the brown rice, if using.
Season to taste and serve.
