SIMPLE SAUTéED CAULIFLOWER "RICE"

Steps:

• Remove leaves from cauliflower and cut up into large chunks (some of the stem is fine).
• Place in food processor (do this in batches if necessary - don't overfill the food processor) and lightly pulse until broken down into rice size pieces. Better to have it a little chunky than soggy. If it's too soggy, it won't brown.
• Bring a large pan to medium high heat and enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
• When hot, add onions. Cook ~ 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook ~ 1 minute or until fragrant. Remove onions & garlic from pan.
• Add cauliflower, salt, and pepper and cook uncovered ` 6-8 minutes without disturbing. Add a touch of oil if it's starting to dry out. Adjust heat accordingly - look for a brownish crust before stirring.
• Stir and cook an additional 6-8 minutes uncovered or until desired tenderness. Mix in cooked onions and garlic.
• Add salt and crushed red pepper to taste. Garnish with parmesan cheese if desired. Happy Eating! Beckie

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
• From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
• Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
• Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
• Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
• At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
• Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.
