Remove the outer leaves and stem from the cauliflower, and chop it into large chunks. Shred the cauliflower using a box grater or food processor.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil, and place the shredded cauliflower into the skillet. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the cauliflower begins to become translucent, stirring gently to ensure it cooks through.

Place the cooked cauliflower into a serving bowl, and toss with the chopped cilantro before serving.
