My review
Paleo Greek 'Rice'
5
Kristen Bailey
"This way of cooking cauliflower is an excellent substitute for most rice dishes for those looking to add more veggies and cut back on grain. Cauliflower is mild and is a great compliment to the Mediterranean flavors of lemon and mint. The recipe is both SCD and paleo diet-friendly. We served this underneath grilled lamb kabobs. It was a big hit!"

Loved this and my kids really thought it was rice! I was concerned, originally, that the rice would not "steam" just by putting it in a skillet, after shredding. But, much to my amazement, it ...

This was delicious. I made this a main dish by adding ground chicken, topping with a little feta cheese, and served with zucchini on the side. Will make this again. Wonderful!!!!!!

Yum! Used all the ingredients (except for mint, as it didn't look good at the store this week). Also changed the method a bit (taste preference) I used a cheese greater to grate the cauliflower(...

Super easy. I like to use it just as I would use any other rice dish. Helps with those carb cravings!

I felt this was a lot of work for a decent dish. It is a good Paleo side dish. Next time I will buy pre cut cauliflower florets to cut the prep time and the mess.
