Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks and feed them into a food processor using the medium grating blade so that you're left with grains of cauliflower that resemble grains of rice.
  • Heat up a large frying pan or wok that has a lid with 1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil. If your head of cauliflower was quite large then use 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil.
  • Add the cauliflower and saute for a minute, then cover with a lid and allow the cauliflower to gently steam for a minute or two and then remove the lid and saute a little again.
  • Repeat until you've cooked the rice for 8-10 minutes. It should be firm but tender.
  • Serve with a stir fry or crispy tofu or veggie stew or anywhere you would usually use rice.

Notes

  1. Storing: Cooked cauliflower rice can be stored in the fridge in a covered container for up to 4 days.
  2. Freezing: It's also freezer friendly for up to 1 month.
