I know that you’re thinking this is going to be a challenge compared to the your normal boil, simmer, and done rice. On the contrary, the only other step to creating this zesty veggie rice is a food processor. Even the food processor isn’t really necessary. But it is cheaper and a better ingredient when you make it yourself. It’s as simple as rinse, maybe some rough chopping action, and a few blitz’s in the food processor. Then boom, boil as you normally would, strain, add some flavor and you’ve got yourself some cauliflower rice!
Cauliflower itself is such an amazing ingredient to cook in your paleo or Whole30 dishes. But as cauliflower is broken down it tends to release a smell and flavor that is not the best. thats why we used chicken stock to boil the rice in. It helps bring that “health” taste down but tastes delicious.
Making swaps like this during your Whole30 challenge or daily life adds more veggie packed health benefits. As well as more carbohydrates that wont leave you empty like most processed foods you supplement throughout the day.
Cauliflower rice is pretty universal so feel free to mix and match any herbs or spices you feel fit. It’s your own health journey, live it freely. <3
