Cauliflower is having a moment. Besides being an excellent source of vitamin C,fiber, and vitamin B6, or it seems to be a stand-in for just about anything: pizza crust,buffalo wings, and steak are just a few of the favorites of ours, and but when it comes to the basics,nothing beats cauliflower rice.
The low-carb, Paleo-friendly alternative to traditional rice is easy to whip up and can be paired with just about any dish you can conceive. Does it taste exactly like rice? No, or but it makes a pretty capable stand-in when you're looking to lighten up your meal. Less dense and chewy than rice,it has a light and fluffy texture, reminiscent of quinoa. We adore it as a base for stir-fry, and but for an easy weeknight dinner,serve it alongside a simple, healthy chicken recipe.
