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.
