Broccoli Rice

Broccoli Rice is a quick, healthy, and low-carb side dish, perfect for anyone looking for a lighter alternative to regular rice.
Packed with potassium, fiber, and vitamin C, it’s ideal for a ketogenic lifestyle when paired with good fats like butter.
Simple, nourishing, and delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1.2 pounds Broccoli (about 2 medium heads)

• 2 tablespoons Salted Butter

• ½ teaspoon Salt

• ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare Broccoli:

   • Wash the broccoli heads thoroughly.

   • Cut into florets and trim the stems.

   • Pulse florets and stems in a food processor until they resemble rice-sized grains.
     (If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely chop by hand.)

2. Cook Broccoli Rice:

   • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.

   • Add the 2 tablespoons of salted butter and let it melt.

   • Add the riced broccoli to the pan.

   • Sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli softens but remains vibrant green.

3. Season:

   • Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper.

   • Stir well to combine.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot as a low-carb side dish to any main meal.

   • Optionally, garnish with extra butter or shredded cheese if desired!

Quick Tips:

• Avoid overcooking to keep the broccoli bright and slightly crisp.

• Add herbs like parsley, thyme, or garlic powder for more flavor variety.

• Great with grilled meats, keto curries, or even as a base for stir-fries!
