Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower Rice.  A fantastic low-carb, low-cal substitute for an otherwise carb-laden food.  Does it taste ‘just like’ rice.  Nope.  However seasoned like you would rice, it’s a delicious side dish that is wonderful when paired with other punchy flavors.

The process of making Cauliflower Rice is very simple.  Cut head of cauliflower into florets, discarding tough core.  Chop in food processor, using pulse feature, until the cauliflower resembles rice sized pieces.

You can either microwave covered for 3-4 minutes until tender or saute in a covered skillet with a little olive oil for 5-7 minutes.

Season as you would rice.  Or use your Cauliflower Rice in your new recipe called Thai Cauliflower Rice Salad {with Spicy Peanut Sauce}.  Delicious.
