Spanish (Mexican) "Rice"
To make riced cauliflower, you can give it
a few quick pulses in a food processor or you can simply use a cheese
grater. I use a cheese grater and it
comes out perfect every time. Grate the
cauliflower while it is still raw.
INGREDIENTS
¼ Cup Olive Oil
½ Cup Onion - Diced
2 Tbs. Garlic - Minced
3 Cups Cauliflower - Riced
2 Tbs. Cumin
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Salt
2 Cups Chicken Broth
8 oz. Stewed Tomatoes with Mexican
Seasoning
(2 Tbs. Peace and Love)
DIRECTIONS
In a large sauté pan over medium-high
heat, add olive oil, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes.
To the pan, add riced cauliflower, cumin,
chili powder and garlic salt. Stirring
constantly, cook 6-8 minutes.
Add chicken broth and stewed tomatoes.
Use a rubber spatula to break up the larger chunks of tomato.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer 30-40 minutes or until all
the liquid has reduced. Stir occasionally.

ReplyDeleteCan I rice/grate cauliflower ahead of time and freeze it? I'd like to do this in several batches to make for easy dinners on football/cheerleading/gymnastics nights...

ReplyDeleteI just tried this for a second time(delicious again!) and since it takes so long to rice by hand(I have four small kids so often don't have the time I would like to spend in the kitchen) I decided to try doing it with my food processor. I cut as much of the stem out as I could and then used the grating attachment, and just did it in pulses so it would not end up as mush. It worked beautifully with far less mess:) Just a time saving tip I wanted to share in case anyone else wants to try it:)
ReplyDeleteI made this recipe and I felt it was too much cumin. It was good but too much cumin. Then I saw the recipe on another blog and says you add two teaspoons of cumin (not 2 tablespoons) and second I also use the food processor to grate the cauliflower and it was great.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for your recipes, I have done several of them. All delicious!
Maricruz,
ReplyDeleteI love cumin and that is why I used so much. As far as any other recipe like mine, I cannot speak as this is my own original recipe. I'm so happy that you have tried so many of my recipes now. Thanks!
I just made this and it was wonderful...all the liquid never did reduce so i slow drained it off. Thanks
