Whenever I make vegetables, I challenge myself with a game: make them so good that they’ll want seconds.  So when my carnivore husband asked for not seconds, but thirds of this broccoli rice, I knew I had scored high points. 

This recipe comes together quickly for a simple but delicious side, as the base for a stir-fry or my favourite bowl meal, the broccoli rice and egg bowl. Simply layer the broccoli rice with a fried egg and parmesan shavings for the perfect meal. A meal which, to date, I’ve had for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So, yes, an all-around winner.

Ingredients

1. 1 head broccoli, chopped into small florets
2. 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

6. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, work in batches so as not to overcrowd the machine and pulse the broccoli until it resembles rice, about 5-10 pulses. Measure 3 cups rice.

3. Add the broccoli rice, salt and pepper and saute another 5 minutes.
4. Finally, add the parmesan, stir to combine and remove from the heat.
