Cauliflower "Rice"

Cauliflower "Rice" is one of these healthy discoveries that has changed the way I prepare healthy food.  It's amazing to think that such a vegetable can turn into something so similar to a starch! The "rice" ends up with a texture and taste more to cous cous, but that's perfectly all right.  The beauty of this is you can change the seasonings to accomodate whatever meal you serve it with.  

Inspiration comes from this delicious recipe found at  Nom Nom Paleo.

The basics of this recipe are:

1) chop cauliflower into small pieces and pulse in a food processor. Put aside in a bowl
2) chop some onion and pulse in a food processor. Put aside in the same bowl as the cauliflower
3) Add whichever spices you want to go with whatever meal you're eating!
4) Sautee the cauliflower and onion in a preheated pan with a little bit of your fat of choice.
5) Cook for about 10-15 minutes and enjoy!

This is not so much a recipe as it is a technique. Once you start chopping and pulsing the cauliflower you can be as creative as you want! This is really a great way to sneak in and incorporate more vegetables into your diet.  Enjoy!
