    Awesome!! I already love cauliflower, so I can't wait to do this! Oh, and I'd love that creole recipe if it's not too much trouble :bigsmile:

    ditto!

    I made this last night and it is amazing. Now I don't feel cheated with a serving of rice! I made the shrimp creole, too. My husband watched me cook it and was talking about how there was always leftovers in the fridge if he didn't like it and he ended up eating two helpings!
    Thanks so much for the recipe. Re-posted it in my blog so I can refer back to it.

    Apologies if someone has already asked this and it may seem like I am lacking in the common sense department but I have never tried this before and dont usually cook any veg in the microwave...but if you dont have a food processor or blender, is there another way of preparing this? Like coarsely grating it or something?

    Just tried this tonight and it is AWESOME! I know a lot of you have tried the cauliflower substitute for mashed potatoes, but you can sub it for rice, too!

    "Cauli-rice" (or Rice-aflower?!)

    :)

    You will need:

    1 head of fresh cauliflower
    a food processor/blender
    a microwavable bowl big enough to hold your final yield

    Do this:

    Cut the florets off of the cauliflower. You can use the stem as well, just cut it into manageable chunks. Process raw florets (do NOT cook first!) until they are uniform "grains" and pile into the bowl.

    Microwave for 3-5 minutes, uncovered, until cauliflower is cooked. DO NOT add water, seasonings or butter before cooking, or you'll end up with mush. Just microwave the processed cauliflower all by itself. Any seasonings can be added after cooking. Fluff with a fork, add spices, serve with anything you would make rice with!

    I made a low fat/low cal shrimp creole (which I can also post if anyone wants it) and served over this tonight. I felt like I was cheating! I added to the whole bowl of "rice" a few shakes of land o'lakes butter sprinkles, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.

    Per cup (with butter sprinkles) - 25-30 calories per cup!

    I'm going to try this with curry and ginger and also as a mock fried rice. Will report results!

    WOW that sounds awesome! I wanna try it....I grew up on white rice and its sooooo bad for but my family had it with every meal! Hope this can be a healthy substitute. Thanks for sharing!!!
