Yesterday I made cauliflower 'rice' for the first time.
In a food processor ..zap until rice-like,
I guess you can use a hand grater, or chop fine with a knife.
Put in a microwave safe bowl, with a cover..or plastic wrap..allow steam to escape.
Cook 4-5 minutes,..don't add any water or anything
when done add a bit of butter and salt & pepper.
It was delicious.

If you are trying to get away from Bread? Cauliflower! It might be easily passed but this Nutrient Dense cabbage is Low in Fat & Carbs, high in Fibre and Rich in Anti-oxidants... and makes a pretty darn good replacement of bread but it's low carb, gluten free and grain free!

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 2. Cut up Cauliflower and steam till soft.. put on a tea towel and blot, try to get as 'dry' as possible. 3. Put in food processor or blend till it's mashed potato texture. 4. In medium bowl stir Cauliflower, Eggs, Cheese, Garlic & Seasonings 5. Lightly spray baking pan and pat the mixture out. 6. Bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes or until top starts to brown Cut into bread sticks.
Have you seen/made the cauliflower pizza base? It's a big thing in the States apparently. So people can have pizza without the fattening base. I've been meaning to try it. I love cauli. I'll try it today and report back.
