Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • ½ medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the florets. Slice the cauliflower head in half and use a knife to remove all the florets. Cut some of the larger florets into smaller pieces so they'll fit within the chute of your food processor.

  • Grate the cauliflower. Insert the grater adapter into your food processor and start feeding the cauliflower florets through the top. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may have to empty it halfway through.
