Space Chick Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Have heard about it from low carb books, then saw it on Jamie Oliver, but I have to admit I was dubious! I am diabetic, so need to monitor my carbs. so I decided to give it a whirl We bought a nice cauli from the farmers market, so I used the left over leaves in a curry, along with the left over meat from our Sunday roast and some tomatoes from the allotment and spices. You pop the cauli head in a food processor until it becomes the size of rice grains, then you microwave for 7 minutes. It was surprisingly delicious and will definitely do again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I found it really useful when I was on the 5:2 diet. It is a great substitute for rice and I enjoyed it although cauliflower is not usually my veg of choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It's interesting that you microwave it for that long - I haven't done cauli rice for some time, but it's jolly nice - reckon I only nuked it for about 3 mintues though - wonder if you were cooking more than me ...

kinsk Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) I made a pizza the other week with cauliflower rice as the base, it was absolutely delicious link Edited September 20, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was wondering about this too, I had heard about it on here and then saw it on Jamie Oliver the other night. I think I may give it a try. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sounds delish ... off to buy a cauli! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I am really not a fan of cauliflower but I did this tonight with a veggie curry and it was yummy. 3 mins without any water (bit of salt) in my microwave rice cooker did the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 For all you cauliflower rice fans, I came across this recipe today for egg-fried cauliflower 'rice'. It looks yummy and I'm really tempted to give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 It does look great (if you ditch the Tofu, I hate Tofu ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm liking the look of the pizza, as gluten free bases can be heavy going as a rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 It does look great (if you ditch the Tofu, I hate Tofu ) I love tofu! But I'm sure you could leave it out and serve as a side dish, or substitute it for chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
