Cauliflower Rice

 

Cauliflower Rice

Mrs. Cohen introduced me to the magic of Cauliflower Rice!  She turned raw florets into rice with a handy grater, then sautéed them in a skillet, adding fresh garlic, zesty lemon, and savory parmesan.

This is a great way to get your kids to eat veggies.  

From classic Mexican flavors with onion and cumin, to simple peas and gentle herbs, the options are endless.

How to Make Cauliflower Rice

While Mrs. Cohen used a hand grater, I use a food processor to do the heavy work for me. pulse half of the florets at a time in a food processor until they are between the size of rice grains.

Perfectly simple and deliciously seasoned cauliflower rice with garlic, bright lemon and flavorful parmesan. This is one of my favorite ways to make it!

2 Tbsp olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

Cut cauliflower from the core, discard core, cut remaining into florets.

Pulse half of the florets at a time in a food processor until they are between the size of rice grains.
