To make riced cauliflower, you can give it a few quick pulses in a food processor or you can simply use a cheese grater. I use a cheese grater and it comes out perfect every time. Grate the cauliflower while it is still raw.

Can I rice/grate cauliflower ahead of time and freeze it? I’d like to do this in several batches to make for easy dinners on football/cheerleading/gymnastics nights…

I just tried this for a second time(delicious again!) and since it takes so long to rice by hand(I have four small kids so often don’t have the time I would like to spend in the kitchen) I decided to try doing it with my food processor. I cut as much of the stem out as I could and then used the grating attachment, and just did it in pulses so it would not end up as mush. It worked beautifully with far less mess:) Just a time saving tip I wanted to share in case anyone else wants to try it:)
I made this recipe and I felt it was too much cumin. It was good but too much cumin. Then I saw the recipe on another blog and says you add two teaspoons of cumin (not 2 tablespoons) and second I also use the food processor to grate the cauliflower and it was great.
Thank you again for your recipes, I have done several of them. All delicious!
Maricruz,
I love cumin and that is why I used so much. As far as any other recipe like mine, I cannot speak as this is my own original recipe. I’m so happy that you have tried so many of my recipes now. Thanks!
I just made this and it was wonderful…all the liquid never did reduce so i slow drained it off. Thanks
Hello: I’m trying to pin this to Pinterest but I keep getting an invalid URL error. Do you restrict this process? Thank you.
No access is not restricted. Not sure what the issue is. But, here is the pinterest link – http://pinterest.com/pin/170644273353406893/
I just made this and had it with minute steak. Pretty good but next time I would use less cumin. I added a tsp of oregano too which worked nicely.
Both my kids raved about this dish. RAVED! (Ages 11 and 13.)
