Instructions
- Prepare your cauliflower rice and all the ingredients needed for the recipes you will make. If you are making your cauliflower rice from scratch, make sure to clean the head of cauliflower either using a knife or your hands then cut it into small florets.
- Get ready your blender and start adding the cauliflower pieces. Add cold water and start blending for 10 to 20 seconds, depending on how fine you want your rice to be and the type of blender you are using. After blending, use a sieve and strain the rice from the water. Your riced cauliflower is ready for any recipe you want to make.
- For the recipes with cauliflower rice, choose whatever recipe you want to make and cook them the right way. To make a baked roasted cauliflower rice, simply add the rice to a baking sheet and bake in the oven. For the cheesy rice cauliflower, cook the rice in a skillet and add the cheese of your choice. And for mashed cauliflower, cook the rice in a pot on medium heat with cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
Notes
- Dry well: Make sure to drain excess moisture from the cauliflower rice before cooking to avoid fogginess.
- Season generously: Cauliflower has a mild flavor, so do not hesitate to use spices and seasonings to make your dishes even more flavorful.
- Use a food processor: if you want to make a finer consistency without using a blender or a box grater to grate the rice, you can use a food processor for grinding. I use this if my blender is not available.
- Explore ingredients: once you have your cauliflower rice stored and you are ready to cook any dishes with it, try and explore using other delicious ingredients such as coconut, lemon, cheese, and many others to add flavor.
