Parmesan Pepper Cauliflower Rice is a super simple, tasty and nutritious side dish that goes with anything.
Lately I’ve been picking up 1 pound bags of cauliflower rice from Trader Joe’s. It’s brain dead easy to use, and since it’s just cauliflower, it’s a healthy start to many dishes. Plus it freezes well. With this dish, you just throw the cauliflower, butter, garlic, and peppers into a skillet and 15 minutes later, you’ve got got a very tasty side dish that goes with anything.
Want to rice the cauliflower yourself? Easy. Just break the cauliflower into florets, put in a food processor and pulse till you get “rice.” Those trying to reduce carbs use it instead of rice, though it obviously doesn’t taste the same.
Try this out – it’s good!
