Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
Instructions
- Remove green leaves from head of cauliflower. Wash, and then cut cauliflower into florets. Use one of the following methods to process cauliflower into small pieces.
Knife Method
- Chop the florets into small pieces similar to rice.
Box Grater Method
- Using the side of the box grater with large holes, grate the cauliflower (much as you would cheese).
Blender or Food Processor Method
- In batches, pulse cauliflower florets in blender or food processor until it is the about the size of grains of rice. If most of the cauliflower is the right size, dump the riced cauliflower into a bowl and return larger pieces to the blender for further processing. Repeat until all cauliflower is riced.
Optional: Remove Moisture
- This step is unnecessary if you're adding cauliflower rice to soups, but you'll have better results when making fried rice or cauliflower pizza if you remove as much moisture as possible. Place the riced cauliflower on a flat flour sack towel. Gather up the edges and twist the ball of cauliflower rice in the towel, pressing out as much moisture as possible.
Notes
Makes about 3-4 cups of cauliflower rice.
Cook this cauliflower in a pan much like you would cook rice, add it to soups, or make cauliflower fried rice.
You can also freeze the rice in meal sized portions. You'll probably need to give it a twist in a towel again when it comes out of the freezer to remove excess moisture.
