I came up with this as an alternative to whole brown rice. It's still got
the taste and texture of the rice but is lower in carbs.

Lite Rice

A carb reduced alternative to white rice. It's flavorful and
diabetic-friendly

Recipe By: Pete Romfh
Serving Size: 8
Cuisine: American
Main Ingredient: Cauliflower
Categories: Low Sugar, Diabetic, Vegetarian, Meatless, Low Fat, Steam,
Roast, Simple - Easy, Vegetables, Side Dish

-= Ingredients =-
4 cups Cauliflower ; - 1 med. head
1 cups Brown rice ; - cooked
1/4 cup Parsley ; - finely chopped
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 dash kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper ; - coarse ground

-= Instructions =-
Roast the cauliflower in a 350° oven until tender and lightly browned. Cut
in chunks and allow to cool a bit. Then run it through the shredder blade of
a food processor. You could chop it very finely if a shredder isn't
available but shredded works best.

The rice should be tender but not mushy. The grains should still have a bit
of crunch to them.

Blend all ingredients together and toss lightly to mix. Adjust flavor with
salt & pepper as needed.

Serve as you would cooked whole rice.
