I'm talking about cauliflower rice. Or riced cauliflower, if you will. It's actually good! I know, I know - you already know that. But I was very reticent about swapping out my beloved white rice for a vegetable, even though that meant my portion of white rice was pretty meager if I happened to be watching my calories. However, in the interest of incorporating more veggies into our dinners, I bought a bag of riced cauliflower about a month ago and did a taste test: I served it with my easy Korean beef spooned over both the cauliflower and the regular rice, and I was OK with it; Jeff was as well. Now, going from steamed rice to cauliflower rice in the same meal didn't make me want to give up the regular rice, but when that's all we have? I can do that!
This is what I've been buying - it's super easy to make, just microwave and in about six minutes, it's ready to go with whatever I've made as a topping. I will say that I don't like the smell of it when I first open the heated bag, but that seems to go away once it's on the plate...and covered with some sort of sauced topping. I don't think I'd eat this on its own. But I like it enough to not make rice, so hey - a veggie without much effort!
Last week I made the easy Korean beef again, only I used ground turkey because that's what I had in the freezer...would that make it Korean burkey? I had fresh broccoli which I ended up roasting and served that with the Korean burkey and cauliflower rice; while Jeff and I ate, I realized that we were pretty much just eating veggies and protein. Not something that I intended, but we survived and weren't super hungry later on, so I think this is going to become part of our standard meal rotation.
Oh, and lest you think I've gone off carbs, think not: Friday nights are burger nights, bun and all, around here. Served with baked sweet potato fries, because I'm trendy like that...
