For the longest time the idea of making rice from Cauliflower intrigued me. I watched U tube videos how to do it and looked at recipes but honestly never thought I would actually be able to pull it off so never tried. Until this week. Basically it was from a need to get rid of a head of cauliflower but whatever the reason I really did it and I loved it so much that I have two more heads of cauliflower in my fridge. They are going to be made into a cauliflower pizza crust but if we don’t get around to it (yeah I am lazy) it will be made into rice.
The taste? It was good, I like the taste of cauliflower, its slightly nutty and vegetably if that is a word but I love my veggies so it was awesome.
Ease? easier than one could even imagine. so simple that I would do it again and again and again.
First step is to cut up your head of cauliflower. I didn’t use the stems but just used the bumpy part of the heads. I placed it in my vitamix a little at a time and riced it up pulsing slowly on low speed. It took several batches but it was simple enough that I just pulsed dumped into a pan and made more.
Because I also had carrots to get rid of I thought why not lets rice those suckers up too. It worked very well and made my dish colorful and you got a nutty sweet taste in the “rice” mix
I then added some olive oil and sauteed it up until slightly tender yet still a little crunchy then added a little gluten free soy sauce for some flavor to match the dish I was making. My husband went back for thirds and I had left overs (very little ) the next day.
I am telling you this is easy peasy and yummy wummy. If you haven’t tried it you really ought to.
