Ultimate Paleo Cauliflower Rice
I’ll be honest with you. I was a bit dubious about this recipe, but now I’m sold! This recipe is so tasty all on it’s own, but also perfect as a side dish with a protein or other vegetables.
I’m a bit suspicious of things named after a non-paleo or non-raw item that they vaguely resemble either in taste, look or both. If someone says ‘rice’ – I’m thinking about the fluffy, starchy taste of rice and when I bite into my cauliflower, it’s hard to not be a little disappointed.
I’m totally in favour of renaming ‘Cauliflower Rice’, to something else that stops my brain from thinking of the ‘ricey stuff’. Maybe…
