Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Raw cauliflower rice
  • 1 Tsp Olive oil
  • salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry the cauliflower.
  • Remove the greens.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets.

METHOD 1: HAND GRATER

  • Hold the grater over a plate or bowl and rub each cauliflower floret against the holes of the grater.

METHOD 2: CAULIFLOWER RICER

  • Take the green lead off the gadget. Place the cauliflower florets into the white container of the ricer.
  • Put the green lead back on and turn the green base and the green lead in opposite directions.

METHOD 3: BLENDER

  • Place the cauliflower florets into the blender jug until three-quarters full.
  • Add enough water to cover the cauliflower florets.
  • Blend just for 2 to 4 seconds, or until you get smal granules.
  • Pour the cauliflower rice water through a mesh strainer over the sink.
  • Tap to remove as much water as possible and place in a bowl.

COOK THE CAULIFLOWER RICE

  • Heat a skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the olive oil to the hot skillet.
  • Chop the garlic and add it to the skillet.
  • Cook for a minute or so.
  • Add the cauliflower rice and stir.
  • Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or unite the cauliflower rice is tender but still has a bite. I like it "al dente".
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, remove it from the heat.
  • Squeeze some lemon juice and add some more pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

About the quantity: I always grate the whole cauliflower head but only cook one serving for me, and store the rest for later use.
