Cauliflower "Rice" Substitute

Not really rice, but cauliflower in this form is easily substituted for rice. Packed with flavor, this is yet another way to add veggies to the menu.
Barry topped our cauliflower "rice" with shredded pork seasoned with Asian flavors. 




Cauliflower Rice Substitute   About 4 servings
1 large head cauliflower, separated into 1" florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  1. Trim the cauliflower florets, cutting away as much stem as possible.
  2. In batches (about 3), break up the florets into a food processor (outfitted with the blade) and pulse until the mixture resembles rice.

  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onions, and sauté imto; tender.
  4. Add the garlic, cauliflower "rice" + salt, pepper, parsley and thyme; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower has softened, 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.  Cover with a lid is desired as it cooks.
  5. Fluff "rice" with a fork and check for seasoning.
