New Favorite Thing: Cauliflower Rice

After becoming gluten intolerant, I've been relying on corn, rice and quinoa products.  Quinoa pasta is definitely my favorite, and I enjoy using it as a grain in replacement for rice.  However, as much as I would love to eat nothing but rice all day - I've learned I definitely need to limit my rice intake where possible.

A good friend of mine, who is intolerant to ALL grains, recommended using cauliflower as my "rice" for Thai food.  I was skeptical, as was G$, however it's definitely a great substitute!

Here's a recipe:

What you need:

• Cauliflower head cut up in fourths
• Steamer
• Pinch of Salt
• Microwave

Instructions:

Use a mandalin, chopper or just a knife to finely chop the cauliflower.  The finer the chop, the closer it will be like rice.  Then stick it in the steamer with a pinch of salt.  Be sure to not add any water, as cauliflower has a ton of moisture.  Then microwave for 4 minutes in the steamer.

Voila!  Cauliflower rice.  Layer it under your favorite curry.  I'm enjoying mine with Jungle Curry leftovers.
