What is Cauliflower Rice?
Have you heard of Cauliflower Rice? It is basically Cauliflower florets are grated to small pieces that resembles rice grains. It is a low carb alternative to rice. The cauliflower grains are sautéed to remove the moisture. After that it is mixed with sautéed veggies and some spices.
Furthermore, you can customise this recipe by adding your choice of vegetables. I have added carrot, fresh green peas, bell peppers. You can also consider adding some beans or jalapeño/paprika if you want it to be spicy. I have not included corn, onion etc just to cut down the carb amount.
Cauliflower rice is low carb, keto-friendly, vegan, paleo, customisable and grain free. You can either use store bought cauliflower rice or grate cauliflower freshly at home. If you have food processor then it’s easy to chop the cauliflower into small pieces.
