Cauliflower Rice

I experimented recently with "cauliflower rice" which is my term for cauliflower pulsed in the food processor to rice sized pieces.

I learned that if you simply boil it in salted water, drain well, and stir in a little grated cheese, this is a passable alternative to rice, that is a third the calories with almost no carbs.

If you combine instead with a larger amount of cheese and egg whites, spoon into a small tin tray and bake until browned, it is an interesting alternative to a hash brown patty fried in oil. With half the calories, much lower carbs and fat, and multiple times the protein.

The precise flavor can be modulated with the type of cheese, and presumably spices which I haven't tried yet.

For all of us still seeking our summer bikini shapes, just an idea to try.

Anyone doing this with other vegetables?. I imagine the food processor would also be happy to make turnip rice, rutabaga rice, and so on.
