Step 1
Start by placing half of your fresh broccoli florets into a food processor.

Once done, transfer this broccoli rice to a bowl and repeat the process with the remaining florets.

Toss in the minced onion and sauté for around 3 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.

It’s time to introduce the star of the dish! Stir in the processed broccoli rice along with a pinch of sea salt and a dash of ground black pepper.
Step 8
Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and vibrant.
Step 9
Once it’s ready, take it off the heat and brighten it up with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving.
