Try Cauliflower Rice Today
I am pretty sure you’ve heard all about cauliflower rice. It seems to be really trending right now, and with reason. It is made from one of the healthiest cruciferous vegetables you can get, so it’s loaded with nutrients including fiber, vitamins C, K and B6, and potassium. Cauliflower has 25 calories per cup and just 5g of carbs, and its super-fast and easy to make.
You can get it riced already or if you can’t find it in your area. Here is the how to: Start by removing the leaves from the whole cauliflower. Cut off the base of the root then chop the cauliflower into chunks. Blitz into fine pieces in a food processor or, if you don't have a food processor, you can use a grater.
Cook: Simply sauté in a large skillet over medium heat in 1 Tbsp. oil. Use a lid to cover so the cauliflower steams and becomes more tender. Cook for a total of 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, then season as desired.
