Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 0.5 medium white onion

  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  2. 2Infuse with Saffron: Heat light olive oil in a large pan. Add saffron threads and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cauliflower rice and stir to coat. Season with salt, white pepper, and granulated garlic. Cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Keep warm.
