A New Way To Enjoy Cauliflower

I was browsing the aisles at Trader Joe's recently, when I ran across a product I just had to try.  It was crumbled cauliflower, or as they called it "rice cauliflower."  The cauliflower was cut into rice size pieces, and was meant to be used as a rice substitute.  Especially for those watching their weight, cauliflower is a great substitute for rice or potatoes.  I have been using it to make "mashed potatoes" for years.  Here's a recipe for fried rice, made with cauliflower.  It's a great vegetarian lunch or dinner or a side dish for any meal.


                                       Cauliflower Fried Rice

sesame oil
butternut squash, cubed
package of cauliflower rice (or make your own by using a food processor)
garlic
peas
two eggs
soy sauce
chopped scallions

Coat saute pan with sesame oil, add butternut squash and cook for one minute.  Add a little chopped garlic and the cauliflower.  Saute until squash and cauliflower are soft.  Add a handful of frozen peas.  Then, add two eggs and scramble into the mixture, adding a little soy sauce if mixture is too dry.  Voila.  You're done.  Put in serving bowl and top with chopped scallions.  You are going to love this delicious, low calorie fried rice.  Enjoy.
