Instructions

1
If you don't have rice already prepared you should start by making some. For this, add a tablespoon of olive oil into a pot. Once it's hot add a sliced clove of garlic. When it begins to color add the rice. Stir for several minutes and then add 2 cups of hot water and a bit of salt. Cook on high heat for 7 minutes. Next, lower the heat and cook on low for 8. If in this time the rice has absorbed all of the water and is still hard, add some more water. Let it stand for a bit.
2
Finely chop the onion and cut the cauliflower into medium size florets.
3
Cook the cauliflower in an abundance of boiling water for about 6 minutes. After this time, drain, and set aside.
