I use it in place of rice at least once a week, sometimes more. This is an extremely versatile base for any dish that contains a sauce. Asian and Italian food are my favorite toppings, but the possibilities are endless. Even better, it is faster than making a traditional rice. When you add cauliflower into your diet you add antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, fiber, essential vitamins and minerals. My favorite thing about this white ball of nutrition? No carbs.
Feeds 2 – 4
1 head of cauliflower
pinch of sea salt
Wash the cauliflower thoroughly. Take a vegetable peeler and ‘peel’ off any brown spots. Cut the head in half and then cut out the core by making a v cut. Cut the stems off each smaller head. In two batches pulse the heads till they resemble rice grains. Dump each batch into a microwave safe dish with a lid. Once both batches are pulsed, heat the rice in the microwave on high for 5 minutes. Leave in the microwave for another five minutes to continue steaming. Serve with your favorite saucy dish.

Any suggestions on cooking this without a microwave as I don’t have one? Thanks!
Great question SD! You can steam the cauliflower first on the stove. Then pulse the cauliflower in the food processor. Voila! Thank you for your great question.
Sounds totally awesome as hubby is on a low-almost no carb diet…more no carb side dishes please!!!
Oh honey, I’ve got a ton up my sleeve! I don’t usually eat carbs at dinner, so I have had to come up with filling no carb substitutes.
Excellent! I made a teriyaki bowl (grilled chicken, steamed veggies, teriyaki)substituting this for my usual brown rice and I didn’t miss the brown rice at all!!
What a great use and idea for the rice! Thanks for sharing.
