If you haven’t hopped on board and tried Cauliflower Rice, NOW is the time to start!
Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable with so many options! It can be used as a substitute for Rice, Mashed Potatoes, Pizza Crust, Quiche Crust, Hash Browns…. I could go on and on, but I will stop here.
This recipe really reminds me of my mother, who was from South America. She would make a similar Cilantro Rice as a dinner side on a weekly basis. I thought I would revamp her recipe with Cauliflower and hoped for the best. This is DELICIOUS! I honestly make it all the time. It’s super easy and both daddy and son love it just as much as I do. Enjoy!
