Cauliflower Rice Recipe

Prepare the Cauliflower

• Remove leaves and stem from the cauliflower.
• Cut into florets and wash thoroughly.
• Rice it:
  • Food processor: Pulse florets in short bursts until they resemble rice grains.
  • Grater: Use the large holes to manually grate the cauliflower.

Cook the Cauliflower Rice

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add garlic (if using) and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Stir in the cauliflower rice and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook, stirring often, for 5–7 minutes, until tender but not mushy.

Serve & Customize

• Serve as a base for curries, stir-fries, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables.
• Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

Tips for the Best Cauliflower Rice

• Avoid overcooking — it should be tender with a slight bite.
• Make ahead: Store uncooked cauliflower rice in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month.
• Flavor boost: Add cumin, turmeric, soy sauce, or fresh herbs to match your dish.
