While eating low carb I am constantly craving everyday carbs. Pasta, bread, and definitely rice! It's great when I can recreate these common carbs with a low carb, veggie version. Cauliflower rice might be better than actual white rice and it's so simple!
Using the large holes of a grater, grate half of a cauliflower.
Place in a microwave safe dish.
Season with salt and pepper
and add in 1/2 Tbsp butter.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir add another 1/2 Tbsp of butter and microwave for another 2 minutes.
Fluff with a fork just like rice and it's ready to be served!
Half of a cauliflower served Jason and I perfectly!
Serve this underneath Lil Carb Orange Chicken!
You can also use a food processor to create cauli-rice!
Watch my how-to video at the top of this post!
I made this dish today and hubby and I both loved it. I'm just planning how making this "rice" opens up the possibilities for enjoying our old favorites while staying low carb. YAY!
ReplyDeleteI actually made the Cauliflower rice and peas. Yum!
DeleteYES!!! I absolutely love cauliflower rice! It really is so versatile! If you like the Cauli-Rice and Peas you should definitely make my Cauli-Rice a Roni! Its in the Rice category on the left side of this page. That is my FAVORITE rice recipe! Thank so much for the positive comment!! :)
DeleteThis is AWESOME!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do I make the cauliflower break up into pieces the size of salad pasta (rather than as small as rice)?
ReplyDeleteYou need to use a food processor or just chop with a knife.
