Instructions

Cut the cauliflower, including the stems, into smallish same size pieces until you have 4 generous cups of cauliflower pieces.
Using the steel blade, process 2 cups of cauliflower pieces at a time in the food processor, buzzing it in short bursts until it’s finely chopped enough to resemble rice, but slightly larger.
If you’re using a bag of cauliflower, just open the bag!
Peel garlic cloves and slice in half lengthwise.
Chop enough green onions for the amount of cauliflower you’re using.
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until it feels hot when you hold your hand there; then add the garlic cloves and stir-fry until you smell garlic.
As soon as you see the tiniest color change in the garlic, IMMEDIATELY remove the garlic and discard.
(Check the package for cooking time if you’re using purchased cauliflower rice or frozen cauliflower rice.)
Turn off the heat, stir in the green onions, and serve the Easy Cauliflower Rice right away.
