Carbs and I are on a break at the moment. In the meantime, cauliflower has taken on a bigger role in my life. I think I’m ready to go steady…
I’m amazed by what you can do with cauliflower. I’ve been skeptical for quite a while, but now I’m a believer…
Did you know you can “rice” cauliflower? If you pulse the florets in a food processor or grate a head of cauliflower on a cheese grater, you end up with tiny “grains” that can replace rice in many recipes.
You can also smash it into “mashed potatoes”, make pizza crust, and even tater tots. Crazy, right? Obviously none of this tastes anywhere near as good as the real thing, but can be a good low carb substitute if you’re craving something starchy.
The cauliflower absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients in this dish, so while you don’t feel like you’re eating rice, you definitely don’t feel like you’re eating cauliflower. I don’t even like the taste of cauliflower (or the funky smell), but I can’t stop eating this fried rice. And just like the real deal, it tastes even better cold the next day.
If you’ve also broken up with carbs recently, let this faux fried rice help you through the hard times.
