Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower

Instructions

  1. Cut a head of fresh cauliflower into fourths. Make sure to fully remove the green stem from the center of the cauliflower.

WITHOUT A FOOD PROCESSOR

  1. With a cheese grater and plate, gently rub cauliflower florets onto the grater. We like to use the medium-sized blades for cauliflower rice.Use the plate to catch the rice.

  2. Once all the cauliflower has been grated, then transfer to a storage container to freeze or use immediately.

WITH A FOOD PROCESSOR

  1. Transfer cauliflower to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. You may have to process in multiple batches depending on the size of your food processor and cauliflower. Do NOT fill more than 3/4 full. 

  2. Pulse the cauliflower until completely broken down into couscous-sized granules.

    Remove any large unprocessed pieces and grate them by hand or reprocess.
