Author's Notes

Be careful of overcooking or your cauliflower will turn to mush. However, if you overcook the cauliflower, mash it up instead with cream and a dollop of butter for mashed cauliflower, a great mashed potato replacement.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
In a food processor, pulse the Cauliflower (5 cups) until it becomes “rice”.
step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 Tbsp). Fry the Garlic (1 tsp) until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
step 3
Add the cauliflower and Water (2 Tbsp) to skillet. Cover the skillet, and steam the cauliflower until tender but still a bit crunchy, about 3 minutes. If you like a crispier texture, continue to cook the rice until it begins to turn golden brown on the bottom- another 3-5 minutes. Careful not to overcook!
step 4
Serve warm with toppings or additions of choice.
