Riced cauliflower is touted as one of the most important finds in the world of low-carb, right after the probable discovery of Dr. Atkins snacking on bacon in the break room and dropping dozens of pounds as though by magic--and rightly so.
Rice, a base for many ethnic foods, is also a huge problem for those who are either intolerant to rice or who are following a low carbohydrate lifestyle.
Ricing cauliflower is relatively easy, especially if you own a food processor, but is easy to chop with a sharp Santoku knife or grate with a cheese shredder.
These dishes are induction-friendly ~*I*~.
Check here for the easy, delicious recipe!

I don't understand what you mean by ricing the cauliflower. All it says is that you can use a food processor to do it. How EXACTLY do you make riced cauliflower?
Umm... ricing a head of raw cauliflower? That seems more than a little difficult.
"is rice cauliflower acceptable"? for who? for what? is ther an international standard or something? Sheesh. Will they raid your kitchen if it's not acceptable to the World Health Organization? Is there a vegetable police? What the heck?
"Acceptable" refers to whether or not people following the Atkins diet can eat it. If you are looking up low carb cauliflower-crust pizza, you already know this. Otherwise you are just being a jerk and not a bit funny.
looks pretty straight-forward to me. You take the cauliflower and make it into tiny slivers like rice. Thats whay its called "ricing", and you can use a cheeze grader. Eeeeasy to do.
Is the nutritional information based on a serving or batch?
OMG - this was awesome! My son (who eats nothing I cook) and my husband (die hard steak and potato man) were actually "fighting" over the last piece. I was very skeptical so I made it as a side to our dinner last night - in case it wasn't good - we ate the pizza versus the kabobs! bTW - riced caluiflower is nothing more than cauliflower put through a food processor and makes all the difference!

You are my new hero. I can't wait to try these recipes.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A potato ricer is a kitchen implement used to process potatoes (or other food) by forcing it through small holes, which are often not much wider than a grain of rice. Mashed potatoes is a food commonly made using this utensil. In technical terms, it works by a process of extrusion. A potato ricer can also be used to squeeze excess water from sliced or grated potatoes. This is useful for making crispy chips and hash browns.
At least three kinds of potato ricers exist. The simplest variety is little more than a grid on a handle. Food is processed against a flat surface or inside a container. Slightly more elaborate models resemble a very large garlic press. A rotary type, called a food mill, also exists where the food is driven toward the grid by a large screw, similar to a meat grinder but without the rotary blade.
if this sounds hard to u your most likely a moron
