Just like spaghetti squash and zucchini noodles can be used to replace wheat flour pasta, the versatile cauliflower can easily replace mashed potatoes and even rice. For the faux "rice," you just break up a cauliflower into smaller florets and toss them in the food processor (I do this in two batches) and pulse until approximately rice-sized. Then cook in one teaspoon of fat (coconut oil or clarified butter if you're going Paleo), stirring frequently, until the pieces just start to turn golden. That's it! Cyd doesn't even like rice, but she really likes the riced cauliflower.
