- In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add scallion whites, bay leaves and 1/2 teaspoon garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in cauliflower, season with salt and pepper to taste, then cover and let steam for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Stir in bell pepper, cover, and cook for 3 minutes, until pepper starts to soften. Stir in turmeric and cook for 1 minute more. Turn off heat, stir in scallion greens, parsley, and honey. Discard bay leaf and season cauliflower rice with salt and pepper to taste.
