Recipe- Delicious Side Dish Broccoli Rice

Broccoli rice is a great way to use up the entire broccoli, including the stalk. Not only is it a delicious side dish, but the smaller size makes it extremely versatile and easy to sneak into everyday meals, such as scrambles, wraps, stir-frys and bowls.You can roast it, steam it, and of course rice it. Once you sauté it with some garlic and shallots, the flavor and texture is pretty irresistible. Eat it as a simple side or keep reading for more ways to serve and meal prep broccoli rice.

Ingredients

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

Method

* 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.

* 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.

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

* Add the broccoli rice to the pan and sauté for another 3-4 minutes.

* Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
