Keto Lemon Tahini Rice
This simple yet flavorsome Keto rice makes a quick and easy weeknight side. Our low carb dish has been prepared with cauliflower rice, crushed garlic, smoky paprika, fragrant cilantro, earthy tahini, and zesty lemon juice. Ready in no time at all, this is a great Keto side for fuss-free cooking!
What is Tahini?
Most commonly known as a hummus ingredient, tahini is a thick and creamy paste that is produced by blending sesame seeds. Popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, tahini can be used in both sweet and savory dishes; perfect for adding to low carb dips, bakes, smoothies, desserts, and sauces. We have added a tablespoon of tahini to our flavored Keto rice. Tahini has quite a strong, earthy flavor, so feel free to use less if you would prefer a milder flavored dish.
Serving Suggestions
Our low carb rice makes a delicious accompaniment to your favorite Keto mains. The rice would be a delicious addition to a Middle Eastern-inspired meal, perfect with some grilled chicken or lamb kebabs. This would also be a tasty stuffing for baked eggplant as a plant-based main. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes or additions to the recipe.
