A beautiful take on a traditional Greek rice dish. It’s fluffy and fragrant, bursting with flavors of lemon, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichokes. It can easily be a quick weeknight main meal or side dish, and if you really want to save time you can now purchase bagged cauliflower at most supermarkets. I promise you won’t miss your old rice. Enjoy!
