Are you cutting down on starch/carbs?
Have you heard of cauliflower "mashed potatoes? Now we have cauliflower rice. Yes, it's good! Google for recipes. It's easy. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

Often used in raw vegan recipes but they of course use it raw. They use it in sushi type rolls or Nori wraps. And other dishes. |

Saying someone doesn't "get out much" means they're somewhat behind the times with what's happening in the real world, meaning Cauliflower "rice" has been around for a long time, sort of like fauxtatoes.

It's not discussed here, I don't see it on menus and no one I know makes/talks about it. Which has absolutely nothing to do with not getting out much, literally or figuratively speaking.

Do you have a FP with a grater or a manual grater with medium or large holes? I think I prefer shredding because it evokes the shape of rice. You can always pulse it in the bowl of the FP, lots of food bloggers show that method too. AFAIC, searching "cauliflower rice" via Google Images is the fastest way to find instructions and lots of images of what it should look like. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

The *rice* is merely finely chopped cauliflower. I think the raw foodists started this but now I've seen recipes for cooked. |

I doubt that cauliflower rice or fauxtatoes are anything that would appeal to the general population. I one heard a chef (Susan Milliken?) say that people don't go out to eat to eat healthy stuff. They go out to eat what they want. |

They go out to eat what they want. Mostly true. If we are going out for an eating adventure, the food is more important than healthy aspects. OTOH, when traveling for an extended time and eating out a lot, we do make some healthier choices. Indulging for eating pleasure for one meal is not a big deal, but a week of it, now so good. |

I've only heard about mashed cauliflower because I stumbled across it on some blogs and I've only recently seen it mentioned in passing here.

But I recently saw a recipe in which it was cooked. Was some kind of chicken but can't tell you beyond that because it wasn't somethng I'd make. I can tell you that when you bite into what you think is rice and it isn't, it's a real shock. Daughter and I did this once. Got some salad from a salad bar. They had what I thought was white rice and I had her dish up a big bowl of it. Got it home and went to heat it. I thought it looked a bit funny up close and sure didn't smell like rice! Not really sure what it was. But probably not meant to be heated. All I remember was that it was sweet. Daughter thought it was coconut but it didn't taste like that. |

Never been a big fan or cauliflower but after reading all this, I can picture trying this: Mince up the cauliflower (to rice state), then cook it in a tiny bit of homemade rich chicken stock. Homemade stock, not that crappy canned stuff you buy at the grocery store. Once the stock evaporates, you might have a tasty side dish of cauliflower...or go on to use that for a faux fried rice dish. G. |
