Dill Cauliflower Rice with Crisp Radishes
4.5(555 ratings)Raw cauliflower rice has a clean, nutty flavor that loves sharp herbs and acid. Pulsing the florets in short bursts keeps the texture light and separate rather than mushy. Radishes add color and a mustardy crunch, and a handful of hemp hearts turns the bowl into something substantial enough for lunch.

Method
-
Step 1: Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor in short bursts, working in two batches, until the pieces resemble grains of rice.
-
Step 2: Tip the cauliflower rice into a clean towel and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture, which keeps the finished dish fluffy.
-
Step 3: Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a large bowl, then add the cauliflower, scallion, hemp hearts and most of the dill.
-
Step 4: Toss thoroughly and taste, adjusting the salt and lemon until the rice tastes bright and well seasoned.
-
Step 5: Spoon into a white bowl, fan the radish slices over the top and finish with the remaining dill fronds.
