Cauliflower Rice

 

Cauliflower rice has become a staple in our kitchen. It's a great way to make many dishes carb-free while keeping the texture of the foods we love. Great as a rice dish, veggie side dish or pizza crust. Toss a little oil into our favorite non-stick pan (you can use an SOS pad on it!) and sauté with shallots and garlic for a simple side dish. Plain, uncooked rice keeps for the week, so you can use as needed.

 

Ingredients

• One organic medium cauliflower

• Filtered water

​

Directions

• Chop cauliflower coarsely and throw in Vitamix or high-speed blender. Add water to cover. You'll need to do this at least twice to rice the whole cauliflower.

• Blend quickly (3 seconds) until all large pieces have been "riced." Be careful not to over blend or else you'll have mush.

• Drain water out through a fine mesh strainer. Squeeze out excess water. You may need to dry further on a paper towel. 

• Use cauliflower rice as rice in side dishes, pizza crust or season as a side dish. 

 

Time: 5 minutes
