Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower is a great substitution for a starch, and a great way to get an extra serving of vegetables! It is such a versatile vegetable, and can be fun to experiment with. This easy cauliflower rice recipe will be go-to recipe in your kitchen! 

There are a few ways to make cauliflower rice. You can either use a box cheese grater, with medium sized holes, a food processor with an "S" shaped blade to blitz into small pieces, or buy Trader Joe's pre-shaved cauliflower "rice." To prevent your dish from becoming soggy, I like to press the rice in a large paper towel prior to cooking, to remove any excess moisture. 

Once you have your cauliflower rice ready, it is easy to cook! Simply sauté in a large skillet over medium heat in 1 Tbsp of Villa Gabriella Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cover so the cauliflower steams and becomes tender. Cook for a total of 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then season as desired (salt, pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, etc.)
