Notes
- In your food processor fitted with the large chopping blade, pulse your cauliflower a few florets at a time (no higher than the top of the blade) just until it is minced.
- Can you use store bought cauliflower rice? Yes. It would save on clean up and time, but I've found that it's not as fresh tasting. Perhaps frozen cauliflower rice would be better, but I haven't tried it.
- If you are feeling creative, the possibilities are endless. You could toss in cooked chicken or shrimp or mixed vegetables.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days.
