Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 16 ounces frozen cauliflower rice
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 ounces chopped tomatoes about 1/2 can
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Cilantro for garnish, if desired

Instructions
 

  • In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the cauliflower rice.
  • Cook the rice 5 to 6 minutes, until it begins to soften. If using fresh cauliflower, this will take a bit longer, typically 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to coat. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes to allow the spices to absorb.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken broth and stir. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the rice simmer until all the broth is absorbed, about 9 to 10 minutes.
  • Fluff with a fork and serve. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
