How To Make Cauliflower Rice

Have you ever made cauliflower rice before? It’s super easy: you basically put some cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it’s chopped so small that is looks like rice. The one thing I won’t recommend is to pulse for too long – you don’t want to shred that cauliflower too small. If you find a floret won’t pulse all the way through – take out the rice and pulse that floret alone again.

If you don’t have a food processor, but time, a lot of patience and good grating skills, another option would be to use a grater – works just as well! Or with even more skills and patience – chop chop chop into tiny pieces.

Once you’re done with the chopping you’re ready to make your own delicious cauliflower rice in a pan.

How To Make Spicy And Cheesy Cauliflower Rice: Step By Step

Step 1: Make your cauliflower rice in your food processor or using a grater. To do this, separate the cauliflower in florets and pulse until it resembles rice. Don’t pulse too much, you don’t want the cauliflower to get too small – it will get mushy as it cooks.

Also, chop your vegetables.

Step 2: Saute the cauliflower rice with some salt, crushed red pepper, paprika and olive oil in a nonstick pan at medium-high for 3 minutes. Cover with a lid.

Step 3: Add some garlic, the carrot and greens while stirring consistently.

Step 4: Cover with a lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 5. Add in some more garlic, the jalapeno and cream cheese. Stir again.

Step 6: Finally, stir in the mozzarella and turn the heat off.

Serve immediately.
