To get started, cut the cauliflower into florets and add to a food processor. Work in batches to pulse into small grains, but be careful not to overblend to a purée. You can also use pre-made organic cauliflower rice from the grocery store or use a grater instead – just make sure to discard any large pieces.
Next, caramelize the olive oil and onions in a skillet on medium-high. Cook for five minutes and add the cauliflower, lemon zest, and thyme. Sauté for five more minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and basil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
