Lots of the dishes on nationaldish.co.uk use carbohydrate alternatives, and for rice, cauliflower is the best.
If you use our recipes you’ll prepare cauliflower rice in a few different ways to suit the end result required – that may be under cooking it or adding other ingredients to it.
Most importantly, it’s easy, quick and tastes amazing, even though it can smell a bit like guffs.
The aim is to heat it through whilst maintaining an al dente texture. You do not want soggy cauliflower rice, that's gross.
So to cook it, we use a microwave - whaaaaat? Yup, microwaves dry food out when it cooks, which most of the time makes for a total shit show. In this case, it's perfect, so no need to add water...and don't use salt either, during the cooking process.
See below, a few versions all based on the same principles - all very quick to do.
Prep Time | 5 minutes |
Cook Time | 6 minutes MAX |
