- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped

Instructions
- 1
Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor 8–10 times until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 3–4 cups total. Alternatively, grate the florets on the large holes of a box grater. Spread the riced cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and press firmly to remove excess moisture.

Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
