Rice Replacement

Chopped up cauliflower is a common rice replacement in the paleo/clean eating world.  It isn't that hard to make but more of a mess.  I ran across this amazing product at Target- premade cauliflower rice!  It is in the refrigerated vegetable section by the loose leaf kale and other veggies.  I haven't seen it at Kroger or Whole Foods but I could have glanced over it.  

All you do is throw it in a skillet with a scoop of coconut oil and a 1/4 cup or so of water.  Let it cook until all the water evaporates and the cauliflower is soft.

You can make as simple rice and add sea salt and pepper with some shredded chicken mixed in.  So good!  Last night we sauteed it with cut up mushrooms and a little beef broth to add flavor.  It was so delicious!  There are a million other ways to use it I am sure but if you need a 5 minute side dish that can be flavored to your liking- you may want to run to your local Super Target and stock up on this.  

PS: I personally do not like steamed cauliflower but love cauliflower rice and cauliflower mashed 'potatoes'.  (For a how to click here).  I know it is a texture thing- so if you really aren't a fan of cauliflower give this a try and I think you will be pleasantly surprised like I was!
