Lemon Cauliflower Rice Pilaf

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Vegan AIP-Friendly

If you only have 15 minutes to get dinner on the table then this Lemon Cauliflower Rice Pilaf is the dish for you. It takes a short cut by using frozen cauliflower rice and amps up the flavor with fresh lemon, dill, and parsley. It’s perfect for a meal any time of the year but I especially love it during the late winter or early spring when lemons are in season.

Cauliflower Rice Pilaf

What is cauliflower rice?

Well, it’s definitely not rice. It’s cauliflower that’s been processed in a blender or food processor to make it the same size as rice. It’s delicious but only resembles rice in the way that it looks.

The great thing about cauliflower is that it doesn’t have a distinct flavor so you can add whatever flavor you like. The bonus for me is that this is a vegetable and another way to get veggies into my diet.

What can I serve with this dish?

Well, just about anything! It’s especially good with other springtime side dishes like asparagus, carrots or artichokes. I’ve included this Lemon Cauliflower Rice pilaf in the photos with Dairy Free Creamed Leeks and Pan Fried Herb Shrimp.
