I came across low carb RICE when following Atkins a few years ago and have used this recipe successfully. The original creator of the rice recipe is unknown, but this has led to many variations and methods. I have endeavoured to make mine spicy on numerous occasions and it has worked well, especially using dry roasted cumin seeds and home made fried & dried onion, green chilli too off course, rounded off with sprigs of fresh coriander. Also lightly braised it in onion and chilli and even used it as a breakfast meal of cauliflower and egg! The method used in this recipe is microwave friendly, the other method which works just as well is by dry "frying"in a non-stick frying pan. The recipe below makes 3 cups of cauliflower rice, which can be refrigerated for use later but I would advise making a fresh batch each time you decide on adding this to bulk up your meal, low-carb style. I use a cheese grater to get the desired consistency, although a food processor works well too.
Cauliflower Rice
 |
| Versatile...Made this as a first reboot meal, Home Made lamb patties, braised cauli rice with Aspargus and Carrots |
Ingredients and Method
450g cauliflower (fresh is better than frozen in my experience) grated to resemble rice grains.
Add grated cauliflower to a COVERED microwave proof dish and cook on high for approximately 8 minutes. Once done, carefully remove dish (this will be steaming and piping hot) and using a sieve or strainer, remove all excess water. Allow to cool uncovered and use as desired...as a rice base for your meal.
