Cauliflower rice is very popular, as people look for healthy alternatives to eat and feed their families at home. When you use cauliflower rice instead of white rice, you are also increasing the fiber in your diets and adding a lot of nutrients. Cauliflower Rice: As soon as I can, I get my food processor out and a good knife. I clean and cut the cauliflower head in half. Then I cut the florets, add them to my processor and pulse until they look like large rice grains. I empty the rice in an air tight glass container and use it during the week to make my mushroom and garlic sautéed cauliflower rice. Sometimes, for the second half, I separate the florets from the crown into bite pieces and save them in the fridge in an air tight container to use as the crunchy element of my next salad. Yes, no croutons needed. It can’t be simpler and healthier than this.
