Broccoli Rice

Don’t toss that broccoli stalk! Instead, pulse it into broccoli rice to add to burritos, bowls, stir-fries, and more. It’s easy, healthy, and delicious!

Ingredients

1 head broccoli, washed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste

STEP 1
Slice the broccoli head in half and use a knife to remove all the florets.
Remove the woody parts from the broccoli stalk using a y-peeler. Then chop the stalk into 1 inch pieces.

STEP 2
Place all broccoli pieces into a food processor and pulse until the it’s broken up into tiny rice-sized pieces. I recommend placing the stalk pieces into the food processor first, so they’ll be chopped up more.

STEP 3
Heat the olive oil in a large pan and sauté the shallot and garlic for one minute.

STEP 4

  • Add the broccoli rice to the pan and sauté for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
