Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

Equipment Needed

Directions

    Food processor method

    • Wash the cauliflower, chop in half, then remove and discard the leaves. Chop up the cauliflower so that you remove as much of the florets from the steam as possible *see note 1.
    • Attach the blade into the bottom of the food processor and dump in all the stem pieces only. Pulse the food processor until the steams are all in rice sized pieces.
    • Remove the blade from the food processor and place the grater attachment onto the center post inside. No need to remove the pulsed stems.
    • Secure the lid and turn the machine on. Push the cauliflower florets through the machine.

    Grater Method

    • Wash the cauliflower and chop in half. Remove and discard the leaves, then chop the cauliflower into florets. Using the large holed side of a cheese grater, simply grate the entire cauliflower into rice sized pieces.

    How to cook cauliflower rice

    • Heat a skillet on medium heat and melt a bit of butter. Toss in the cauliflower rice and sprinkle in some garlic powder, salt and pepper. Give it a stir, add a lid and reduce the heat to low.
    • The cauliflower rice will take about 5-7 minutes. Give it a stir a couple of times throughout the cooking process, and once it is nice and fluffy, serve it hot with your favourite dishes.

    Notes

    1. With the food processor method, to get the best results, be sure to remove as much of the stem as possible from the florets. The blade will chop the stem into the perfect rice shape, whereas the grater will just shred the stems.
    2. Though the grater method uses way less dishes, it requires a bit more arm work, and the cauliflower stem doesn't turn out quite as good as the food processor method.
    3. Be sure to cook the cauliflower rice on a lower temperature; it will burn quickly if cooked on too high of a heat.
    4. Use a lid when cooking the cauliflower rice; it needs to steam, rather than fry.
