Instructions
- 1
Slice the broccoli head in half and use a knife to remove all the florets.
- 2
Remove the woody parts from the broccoli stalk using a y-peeler. Then chop the stalk into 1 inch pieces.

Place all broccoli pieces into a food processor and pulse until the it's broken up into tiny rice-sized pieces. I recommend placing the stalk pieces into the food processor first, so they'll be chopped up more.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan and sauté the shallot and garlic for one minute.
