I'm in love!

Oh darling readers...I am in LOVE!

I have found my dreamboat at last...let me introduce him to you...

Mr. Cauliflower Rice!!!

He is delectable, delicious, delightful. He is everything I ever wanted in a companion. Versatile, flexible, and oh so yummy!

Sorry to be a freak! but I have discovered the best food ever. I know that many of you have already tried this tasty treat, but for some reason, I never have! Thanks to Elizabeth's great blog Caveman Food, I finally decided to give it a whirl. Her food always looks SO amazing!


I ate this side dish with other scrumptious foods. I made these really fantastic spicy pork patties with tons of Pimenton de la Vera, garlic and thyme, sauteed some onions with turmeric, a little salad and my new love...HEAVENLY! Who gets this excited over cauliflower? But it tastes like rice! Only better!

My new passion has one drawback. It's kind of a pain to grate by hand. I'm afraid I will grate off my fingers in my zeal. Should I purchase a food processor with a grating attachment just so I can enjoy this delight on a regular basis?

  1. Food processors are awesome. I use it all the time - make butter, grind up nuts, even tried my hand at mayo (not bad though I put too much oil in).

  2. Hey Mark!
    You can use it to make butter? huh! Didn't know that!
    I have a mini one which is great for salsas and pestos but you can't grate.
    I might just have to get a big one too. More kitchen junk, just what I need! :)

    Have a great day!!!

  4. Hi John,
    Yes, it is just grated cauliflower. You can follow Elizabeth's recipe or the way I made it was just grating it, then throwing it in a pan with some olive oil and spices for a little bit.

    It tastes great!

  5. I use a mini food processor to make this type of cauliflower rice. You don't need the grater, but you might not be able to do all your cauliflower at once. I just chop it up, toss it in, and pulse until it's all in little pieces. The pieces turn out looking a little more like quinoa or couscous. It's great!

  6. Hi Alisha!

    That's great to know!!! I will try it next time (maybe tonight!) in the mini processor.

    Thank you for leaving a comment. Have a great day!
