HEALTHY CAULIFLOWER RICE
Cauliflower can shine in many forms. This recipe shows how simple it is to turn the florets into a healthy, low-carb meal or side dish--our version has only about 1/4 of the carbohydrates in rice. With the olive oil and browned onions, the cauliflower has enough flavor to satisfy by itself, and it can also be a base for stir fries, beans and rice or anything else you would eat with rice.

Steps:
- Trim the cauliflower florets, cutting away as much stem as possible. In 3 batches, break up the florets into a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles couscous.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. At the first wisp of smoke from the oil, add the onions, and stir to coat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown at the edges and have softened, about 8 minutes. Add the cauliflower, and stir to combine. Add 1 teaspoon salt, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower has softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Spoon the cauliflower into a large serving bowl, garnish with the parsley, sprinkle with the lemon juice and season to taste with salt. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Cut the hard core and stalks from the cauliflower and pulse the rest in a food processor to make grains the size of rice. Tip into a heatproof bowl, cover with cling film, then pierce and microwave for 7 mins on High - there is no need to add any water. Stir in the coriander. For spicier rice, add some toasted cumin seeds.

CAULIFLOWER RICE
Cauliflower is a kitchen chameleon that's available at most every grocery store year-round. Once pulverized into granules, it becomes a weeknight savior, keeping in the refrigerator for nearly a week and stepping in easily for normal rice. For the most flavorful cauliflower rice, use a little fat; add alliums like onion, garlic and scallions; and roast it instead of steaming or sautéing it, so the raw edges caramelize. Pop the little florets into the oven while you make the rest of dinner, then serve it as you would rice: with curry, a stir-fry, a protein and a vegetable, or just an egg on top. Cauliflower rice is also very amenable to having flavors added before or after roasting (see some ideas in the recipe below), or simply being eaten raw, dressed like a salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees if you're serving the rice cooked.
- Fill a food processor halfway with cauliflower florets, then pulse until it breaks down to about 1/4- and 1/8-inch pieces and resembles rice. Transfer to a very large bowl. Repeat with the remaining florets. The rice can be eaten at this point, or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
- To serve warm, toss the rice with olive oil and garlic (if using), then spread in an even layer on 2 baking sheets. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until dark golden brown at the edges and lightly golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve plain or with 1 of the sauces below.
- For the ginger-garlic sauce: Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then stir in sesame oil, red-pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Pour over cauliflower rice, toss to combine and serve at once.
- For the tahini-Parmesan sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 3 tablespoons water, tahini and lemon juice. Once warm, add grated Parmesan and continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce has come together. Season with black pepper. Drizzle over the cauliflower rice, to taste. Pass extra at the table.
- For Thai-style rice: To the cooked rice, add red onion, scallions, cilantro, mint, fish sauce, lime juice and red-pepper flakes. Toss to combine and serve at once.

- If you’re working with a head of cauliflower, cut it into medium chunks (see photo) and discard the core. Working in batches, pulse the chunks in a food processor with the S-blade until they’re broken into tiny pieces, just bigger than couscous. (See recipe notes if you don’t have a food processor.)
- Wrap the cauliflower rice in a clean tea towel or paper towels, twist, and squeeze as much water as possible from the rice—you might be surprised by how much water you can wring out.
- Toast the almonds in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently (careful, or they’ll burn), until they’re fragrant and starting to turn golden on the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the toasted almonds to a bowl to cool.
- Return the skillet to the heat and add the olive oil and garlic. Cook while stirring until the garlic is fragrant, about 10 to 20 seconds. Add the cauliflower rice, red pepper flakes and salt, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring just every minute or so, until the cauliflower rice is hot and turning golden in places, about 6 to 10 minutes.

- If you’re working with a head of cauliflower (if using store-bought, skip to the next step), cut it into medium chunks (see photo) and discard the core. Working in batches, pulse the chunks in a food processor with the S-blade until they’re broken into tiny pieces, just bigger than couscous. (See recipe notes if you don’t have a food processor.)
- Wrap the cauliflower rice in a clean tea towel or paper towels, twist, and squeeze as much water as possible from the rice—you might be surprised by how much water you can wring out, or you might not be. Cauliflower varies quite a bit in its moisture level, and this step ensures that it cooks well.
- Warm the skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the garlic. Cook while stirring just until the garlic is fragrant, about 10 to 20 seconds. Add the cauliflower rice and salt, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring just every minute or so, until the cauliflower rice is hot and turning golden in places, about 6 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs and citrus, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve warm. Leftover cauliflower rice will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Gently reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
