  1. How long do you microwave the cauliflower?

  3. Made this for dinner tonight and I added in mushrooms and onions. For spices, I used red pepper, pepper and a little italian seasoning… Soooo good. My husband had no idea he was eating cauliflower, it was the consistency of couscous, perfect!

  5. Such a nice surprise! I
    Used half a head of cauliflower but used all of the measurements for the added spices/onions except the oil. I only needed a
    Total of about 1tablespoon to sauté everything. This went very well with the shrimp.

  7. The microwave isn’t necessary, it just drastically cuts down on the time it takes to cook. If you can’t microwave it, I would recommend steaming it until it just starts to soften, but not be fully cooked (you don’t want it mushy). Then, add to the food processor and continue on.

  8. I love this! We use it as a substitute for pasta – like with meatballs and tomato sauce. YUM

  11. I made this tonight :-) I’m SO impressed!!!!! I love rice as if it were a staple in my diet, so to find a substitute that’s healthier for me is AMAZING…plus it tastes great! I sauteed some turkey meat, red peppers, onion, green beans, and corn in curry, garlic, pepper nutmeg, cloves and sea salt. It’s was wonderful! I shocked myself :-) thanks!

  15. I finally tried this last night and we really enjoyed it. Had it with a sort of ground beef gravy broth and sauteed zucchini. My only issue was that I should have cut the pieces of cauliflower into smaller pieces before putting in the food processor. A couple big pieces remained as I continued to blend and the consistency of the remaining amount was more like couscous than rice (which still tasted amazing). Because we used such a rich sauce, I only added olive oil and salt, but am excited to experiment with other spices next time!
