Low-Carb Cauliflower Rice with Fried Onions and Sumac

Ingredients

  • 2 T + 1 T olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, diced medium
  • 2 pkg. frozen cauliflower rice, 12 oz. each
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • Generous amount of Sumac for seasoning

Directions

  1. Cut the onion into medium pieces.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a skillet, then stir in the onions. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook them until well browned, about 10 minutes, stirring a few times along the way so they color evenly instead of scorching.
  3. As the onions cook, loosen the frozen cauliflower rice by breaking it up right in the bag. If you’re using fresh cauliflower instead, prepare it into rice-sized bits using the method noted below the recipe.
  4. Once the onions have browned, add the cauliflower rice and the other tablespoon olive oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then increase the heat to high.
  5. Cook the cauliflower, stirring frequently, until the moisture has evaporated and the cauliflower is lightly browned and done the way you like it, probably about 8-9 minutes.
  6. Finish with a generous sprinkle of Sumac and serve while hot.
  7. This is best made in the amount you plan to eat right away, since the texture is not especially good after reheating.
