Ingredients

• 1 small broccoli head (about 8 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Cut broccoli head into 1-inch florets. Wash and dry the broccoli.
2. Place the broccoli florets in a food processor - pulse until the broccoli is broken up into rice-sized pieces.
3. To cook the broccoli rice, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.
4. Add the riced broccoli, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bright green and tender.

Notes

Use the broccoli stalk too but be sure to trim any woody pieces first and then cut the stem into 1-inch pieces and throw them into the food processor with the rest of the florets.
