The Grain-Free Way to Eat Rice
We're already on board with cauliflower as a delicious addition to mashed potatoes and a nutritious way to thicken mac 'n' cheese. Turns out the cool-weather veg can also transform into "rice" when you shred it with a grater; you'll wind up with grain-like bits, which you can then sauté or steam. The bits cook more quickly than their carb-y counterpart and their mild flavor goes with almost anything you'd serve with rice. This simple recipe pairs the cauliflower with fresh herbs, lemon, apricots and walnuts.
