Serves 4 – Advanced and Core Plan
For those of you following the Advanced Plan or just trying to avoid grains, this is a terrific rice substitute. Cauliflower wouldn’t be happy to be called a substitute because it stands on it’s own as a tasty satisfying dish on it’s own.
1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
sea salt
black pepper
butter
grated parmesan cheese, optional
any combination of herbs, optional
Transfer the cauliflower to a blender and cover with filtered water. (This is called wet-chopping. It is best done with a Vita-Mix or other blender that drives the food downward). Pulse the blender several times to get the desired consistency. (It should look like thick rice). It may take a few pulses.
Tranfer the cauliflower and water to a saucepan and boil to desired doneness. It will still have more crunch than regular rice. Be careful not to overcook the cauliflower.
Drain the cauliflower in a strainer and season with sea salt, pepper, butter, and parmesan cheese and herbs if desired.
