Ingredients

  • 1 whole cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (or dried)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pink salt to taste

Instructions

  • Start by removing the leaves from the cauliflower then use a knife to cut off the base
  • Cut the florets into small chunks.
  • Fix a food processor with an S blade and pulse the small chunks into a fine "rice consistency". You may need to do so in batches and scrap down the bowl and continue to pulse until the "rice" has formed.
  • If using a box grater or microplane use the side with the medium holes and push through to make "rice grains"
  • On medium heat, add the oil to a frying pan or skillet
  • Add the "rice", parsley, onion powder, garlic powder and pink salt to taste
  • Proceed to cook the rice, stirring for 5-7 minutes until the "rice is tender"

Notes

  • I used fresh parsley as a part of the seasoning because it is more pungent but dried parsley works just as well.
  • Don't forget to check out my Ochro Rice which is also made with Cauliflower.
  • If you don't plan on eating your riced cauliflower straight away, it's best to refrigerate or freeze immediately.
  • If refrigerating use within 4 days.
  • If using a food processor to pulse the florets into "rice" the texture can vary from super fine to slightly coarse. The longer you pulse the "rice" the finer the consistency.
  • Don't over process or you increase the risk of the "rice" being mushy.
