I've been on a cauliflower kick lately, and so here's another great cauliflower recipe to throw in the mix. This creative usage of cauliflower really tricks you into thinking you're eating rice.
What a fun, unique, tasty, and of course, healthy dish! You must give it a try and let me know if you or anyone else is tricked by this one.
