Cauliflower rice....

[dontticklethetoad]

Why is it so disgusting? At best it tastes and smells like farts.
I love cauliflower in all its other guises, although it does smell like farts if you're steaming it.

YANBU

I tried it once. Never again.
People who rave about it are liars.

I love it, bit of butter and salt and pepper. Yum 😋

Just no. Too hot to type more.

You might be overcooking it. It needs to have a bit of bite. Usually a bit of a blanche in boiling water is enough.

I absolutely love it, I can get through a cauliflower a week. Maybe you're not cooking it right.

I thought cauliflower rice would be horrible - after all, I tried making a cauliflower pizza and it ended up in the bin - but it's actually quite nice. I didn't steam it though, I stir fried it with some prawns, mangetout and baby corn.

Egg fried cauliflower rice is devine.

Don't steam it - roast it! Olive oil, salt and pepper and about 15 mins at 180c. Bloody lovely.

It's great if you fry it in oil with salt and pepper. Rubbish if it's steamed

You need to toss in a little olive oil, add salt and pepper then put it in the oven. It's lovely.

I bake the cauliflower, in large florets, after tossing in a little oil and various seasoning depending on what it’s being served with, for 15 minutes so it still has a bite, then pop it in the food processor for a very quick blitz, then add sautéed onion and other vegetables.

It’s very yummy (and not everyone can tell it’s not rice!)

Oh OK. I had just bought the aldi microwaveable pot

I will try making my own. But if it is still disgusting I will hold you all responsible.

Cauliflower pizza is delicious! But that my have more to do with the topping tbh.

If it's not it is a stupid question, do you blitz it in the food processor before cooking.

Oh wait, of course you do. Otherwise it would be pureé

It’s vile. I’d rather just have a side of normal cauliflower.

Blitz it in batches otherwise even raw it starts to puree

It's all in the preparation. I've had cauli rice that smelled and tasted like the devil's own farts. Usually if it's shop bought, or microwaved.

If I make it myself, it's very nice. If I use shop bought and fry it instead, it's nice.

I once made shepherd's pie with cauliflower rice topping instead of potatoes. Utterly vile. YANBU.

Iceland do frozen bags of it. I love it.
I microwave it according to instructions then dry fry for 5 mins to extract any moisture.
I struggle to eat normal rice now as it's too blasting and filling for me!

*bloating

it's not rice
sorry for shouting.
it's just cauliflower. perfect as a veg, useless as rice substitute.

I like it but DH complains it makes the kitchen smell a bit farty.

The frozen stuff is lovely.

I love cauliflower, go through at least 2 or 3 a week! I grate mine or stick it through the shredder on the processor, stick in airtight Tupperware and microwave for 5 minutes.
Has a bit of bite and great with things like chili or curry.
Otherwise I roast the florets in oil, salt and pepper. Also equally obsessed with rutabaga fries or as a fried hash.
I never buy cauliflower rice in the bag, it tastes like farts.
