directions

  • Grate the cauliflower, including the core You can use the grater attachment of a food processor or the medium holes on a box grater. Squeeze out as much water as you can with your hands.
  • Melt butter and oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté just until the garlic sizzles(1-2 minutes). Add the cauliflower, sprinkle with the salt & pepper and stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 5 to 8 minutes. The length of time will depend in the cauliflower.
  • Stir in the green onions and add salt and pepper to taste. With your eyes closed, you'd swear you were eating rice.
  • VARIATION.
  • For a Pan-Asian taste, use oil only instead of the butter/oil combination. Scramble 2 eggs in the oil after sautéing the garlic. Add chopped, cooked meat or shrimp, give a few stirs, then add the cauliflower. Serve with soy sauce.
  • Other options: add some curry powder, some grated lemon rind to go with fish, or some chilli powder.

  1. Awesome, loved it. Made one addition of some powder chicken bouillon
     
  2. This is a great way to go low carb! I love the cook's suggestions for how to dress up the rice: Asian, etc.
     
  3. I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but it's one of few vegetables that are looking good this time of year. So i brought it home and found this recipe. It was a hit. The kids gobbled it up, and my husband who's getting sick of chicken and rice really enjoyed the switch up. I love that we're getting more veggies instead of empty carbs. I have been serving this with a Chicken Madras sauce I pick up at my grocery store, but any saucy dish would be great. This has now become a staple in our house.
     
  4. Love cauliflower and this is a different way to serve it. I didnt think it tasted like rice but can be used as rice very nicely! For anyone that is low carb'n this is great. Served with grilled salmon cant wait to try the variations that you have suggested. Thanks for sharing this recipe, one I will be making again. Made for PAC spring 09
     
  5. I was totally impressed with this. It wasn't just like rice, but it was an excellent substitute and a terrific way to get in more veggies without it being so obvious to your picky eaters. My husband calls cauliflower, "the white stuff" and let me assure you he isn't saying it with a smile on his face. But when I serves this with recipe# 89204 served over top , my husband didn't even seem to notice it was "the white stuff."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Anaheim Hills, CA - grew up in the next town over and have never lived anywhere else. I mostly work out of my home. My husband and I have an electrical sign business and I do the office work along with being crane operator about once or twice a week. I also drive one of the big trucks as needed. Prior to working with my husband (for the past 10 years, I was an executive secretary for 20 years so this has been a big change from corporate offices to construction fields, I love it. For fun, we go to Vegas about once a month and I also enjoy gambling at the local Indian casinos although my husband does not. I'm not a great cook but I do enjoy being creative in the kitchen...good thing my husband will try anything I make. I rarely follow a recipe exactly usually combining two or more recipes and trying to create my own. Rarely does it come out better than the original authors but I have fun. I enjoy collecting cookbooks and reading recipes. I have won two cookoffs, one for chili and one for smoked ribs. My husband is my taste tester telling me what it needs more of as I cook - thats how we won the chili cookoff. I credit him with that one! I don't have any children, have been married 30 years this year. I love animals and my beloved sheltie mix dog died at age 14 back in 2000 and I just haven't found another dog yet. My family and friends have me babysit their dogs which I really enjoy. My passions are probably the Anaheim Angels baseball and I like the Chargers football. Don't really care for basketball but do enjoy a good hockey game. We enjoy riding (on the back only, thank you our Harley that my husband has had since he bought it brand new back in 1977. I'll have to think about what my pet peeves are, I'll come back to you on that one. UPDATE: Ok, I've decided my pet peeve is having a recipe reviewed when the person didn't even make it as written, changes the ingredients and then gives it a poor review. Thats just not right. <br /><br /><img alt= src=/&lt;a href= /> <br />http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg&gt; <br />src=<a href=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>&gt;http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg&gt;</a></p>
