Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice is super versatile - a low-carb, gluten-free, paleo and vegan-friendly substitute for rice that is also totally delicious. We serve it with stir-frys, turn it into fried rice, and keep it in the freezer as a quick, healthy side dish.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 Tbsp Butter or Oil
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Slice cauliflower into small pieces, discarding leaves.
  • Chop or grate the cauliflower using the shredding disk attachment or classic blade attachment for the food processor or a box grater until even rice-shaped kernels are formed.
  • Optional: At this point you can freeze the cauliflower rice to use later.
  • Heat butter or oil in a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Saute until tender, about 4 minutes. (Alternatively, you can steam the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl, covered with a damp paper towel until tender, about 3 minutes on high.)
