Description
Simple instructions for preparing fresh cauliflower rice and storing it for later use.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower
Instructions
- Remove the leaves and thick core from the cauliflower head.
- Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets.
- Place the florets into a food processor.
- Pulse the florets until they resemble grains of rice. Do not over-process, or it will become mushy.
- Alternatively, use a box grater with the large holes to grate the florets.
- Use the cauliflower rice immediately or store it.
Notes
- For storage, place the raw cauliflower rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze cauliflower rice for longer storage. Spread the rice on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. It keeps well for several months.
- When cooking, use about 1 cup of raw cauliflower rice per serving. Cook it in a dry skillet over medium heat until tender-crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes.
