1 small head cauliflower

butter
salt and pepper
Tips
It does not work well as a substitute for rice in casseroles where the function of the rice is to absorb liquid.
Directions
To make this dish the most easily and to have it come out the best, a food processor is recommended.
1. Process fresh cauliflower until it is the size of rice, either using the plain steel blade or the shredder blade of the food processor. Alternatively, you can shred it with a hand-held grater, or even use a knife, if you have the dexterity to chop it up VERY finely.
2. Microwave it in a tightly covered dish for 4 to 5 minutes. DO NOT ADD WATER. Cauliflower absorbs water like crazy, and the "granules" will become gummy. To keep it fluffy, just let the moisture in the cauliflower do its work. Butter, salt & pepper can be added after cooking to add a little flavor.
Serving size depends on the amount of cauliflower used; approximately 4 cups per small head of cauliflower.
