Keto Cauliflower Couscous with Herbs and Pine Nuts is a delicious and healthy side dish that is low in carbs and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by ricing the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles couscous. Alternatively, you can grate it using a box grater.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the riced cauliflower, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the toasted pine nuts, chopped parsley, basil, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
- Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta before serving.
- You can substitute the pine nuts with walnuts or almonds for a different texture and taste.
