Hi all,

Forgive me if you already know about this one, but as a lover of chillis and curries rice can be a big pain on a low calorie and low carb diet, however I found an alternative on another forum last night, I was sceptical but tried it last night with chilli and it was actually great!!

The secret is cauliflower!! Yes I said cauliflower.....

Simply grate the cauliflower florets finely so that it kind of looks like rice, place it into a microwaveable bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes and hey presto pretend rice!!!!

    yeah im the same, love rice and it was killing me to limit myself to tiny portions, but honestly, this is a great alternative, obviously not exactly the same as rice but I will most definitely be using it from now on, back to a decent size portion :smile:
