plus other spices e.g turmeric, garlic

put a lid on the pan and let it heat through. you can make this within about 6-7 mins, and out comes a substantial and tasty meal !

I add cauliflower instead of rice to my curries, tastes very nice.

I even make pizza using cauliflower as a base, check out recipes on internet.

Yeah we have it a lot with curries. I smash my own though. Can't bring myself to buy it ready done (although I'll buy other pre-prepared veg).

Same here. I checked it on their website though: It's cauliflower only.
Then I checked prices and (at least today at leshop, as Migros site only indicates "Tagespreis") it's even cheaper than a bio-cauliflower. Which I find surprising. Suspicious, considering all the processing, packing etc.? Ah well, let's say surprising.

I use rice instead of cauliflower - turns out great!

I use it quite a lot. Usually simply roast it a couple of minutes in the oven. Been doing my own using my Thermomix which takes a couple of seconds. Will check out the Migros stuff though.

Not at all, it is an opportunity to sell all the 'waste' that was crushed during transport or deformed from the start or the stalks that are usually not included in frozen veg.

Yep, that's what I meant. On second thought I figured that was not a bad thing.

Probably true, but no harm in that. Seems like a good way to reduce waste.

I eat cauliflower rice quite a lot but always make my own. TBH I prefer the taste and consistency of conventional rice but the cauliflower version is great for anyone on a low carb regime. I use it instead of rice and pasta and it does the job well. You definitely need a food processor to quickly break it down, A single head does me for about 6-10 meals depending on how I use it so quite economical too.

My Migros doesn't sell it.

I don't really see how it replaces rice but I don't eat much rice but I love cauliflower and always found there was a limited amount of preparation ideas for it (well, I was limited in ideas ) so I can see the appeal.

<<does me for about 6-10 meals>> do you freeze it? (I don't suppose you eat it 10 times in a row).

Hubby and I ate one full head for dinner along with a vegetable and meat stir fry. What are we? Monsters?

Naaa, I manage that sans hubby.

Until you've tried it, it sounds odd, I agree. But if you whizz it up enough in your food processor it really does look like rice and can fulfil the same purpose though naturally it doesn't taste the same. But once it's mixed through a curry or other sauce it's a surprisingly good substitute. Yes, I freeze it. One head makes a big bowl which I then divide up into portions. I freeze all but one or two which I keep in the fridge to use within a few days. See note below about preparation.

Half a cauli each sounds like a lot, yes, unless a very small one -- but each to their own.

Something I forgot to mention -- after I've whizzed up the cauliflower I tend to saute it with onions and whatever I have lying round -- perhaps grated carrot, finely chopped red pepper, peas, chickpeas etc. This bulks it out and adds to the flavour. Then I'll freeze it in portions. Maybe this makes the 6-10 portions more comprehensible.

I think a cauliflower rice salad would be pretty nice too.

Actually all it is is chopped cauliflower - wonder how long until they sell carrot-rice?
Still, never thought of chopping cauliflower, so still a new idea to me.

It’s part of a group of vegetables that have become stand-ins for starchy foods like rice, pasta, potatoes and bread — all of which are verboten if you follow a low-carb diet. So we have cauliflower used as rice, or mashed instead of potatoes, or baked as a pizza base; 'spaghetti' made from courgettes or even cabbage, thinly cut aubergine as 'lasagne', and so on. Google 'carb substitutes' and you’ll get loads of possibilities. Most are surprisingly good.

not long probably!

not so sure about broccoli rice - cauliflower rice has a perfect texture and lightness also color to act as the base for a meal such as curry. just like rice in fact... i imagine broccoli rice coming out denser and soggier with water content. but have to try it to know

Meh I got sick of white rice and tried cauliflower rice a few times and just couldn't get along with it. Now I use brown rice and though it takes ages to cook and is denser I use smaller portions find it much more satisfying.

Broccoli has a different texture, consistency and is not as versatile as cauliflower. It will quickly turn into a puree.

it might make a great sprinkle? i make omelettes and vary the vegetables, but typically
- fry some sliced vegetables say mushrooms or leeks
- add beaten egg and tilt evenly round the pan
- put on some green leafy stuff like basil leaves or chopped parsley
- put cheese slices on top, and put on lid to melt the cheese

i could imagine brocolli rice going great in a sprinkled green layer, especially with the cheese melting into it
