We love cauliflower rice and make it often. Just wanted to let you know, it can be made just as well with frozen!! I zap the bag in the microwave for about 3 minutes (to soften - it will still be kinda frozen) then shred it in the food processor. I usually add a sprinkle of salt and a bit of butter and then throw it back in the microwave (covered) for 3-4 minutes to finish. We use it just like regular rice. The fresh is great - but when its not in season, the frozen is a LOT cheaper! HTH. :)

Was surprised that this really did turn out just like light fluffy rice. I made as written using the saute method, keeping in mind not to overcook as I think that is the trick to this recipe. I served as a simple plain side like one would white rice and would like to maybe try making it into a fried rice dish next time. One last note 1/2 a head feeds 4 very easily. Thanks for the post.

What a phenomenal idea!!!! I made half a head of cauliflower and microwaved it for exactly 6 minutes and it was perfectly done, a little crunchy and so fluffy! After cooking, I sprinkled with some garlic salt, parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. Absolutely delicious! This will go directly into my "WOW" cookbook and thank you ever so much for sharing this great recipe.
