Cauliflower Rice- yes you read correctly!

So I was at the dentist yesterday and as usual I got to talking about food- with my hygienist of course... We got to talking about healthy cooking and substituting etc- and she asked me if i had ever had cauliflower rice- She went on to explain that all you need to do is put a head of cauliflower through the food processor- pulsing it until it slightly resembles rice in size. Then you heat a pan with about 1- 2 tbsp of butter- yes butter is natural and in small amounts is good for you- way better than its almost plastic distant cousin margarine, and you pan fry it on medium/low for about five to ten minutes. I made this with creamy Dijon pork sirloin and the cauliflower actually soaked up the sauce just like rice would. Healthy eaters rejoice! An alternative to rice and noodles! And you can feel good about this one too:) Happy Cooking!

(PS- this totally counts as a new ingredient because its something we've all used in a completely different way! The experiment is still going strong!)
