Ingredients

3 TB Garlic Olive Oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias, plus more for garnish
4 cups (1 medium head) riced cauliflower
3 cups spinach, roughly chopped
¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted, plus more for garnish
2 tsp lime zest
2 TB lime juice
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

In a large saute pan over medium-low heat, add oil. Saute garlic and scallions until aromatic and softened but not golden brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes.
Increase to medium heat, add cauliflower, stir constantly to prevent browning, and sweat until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add spinach and continue to stir until fully incorporated and wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn off heat, add sesame seeds, lime juice and zest and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
