Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make cauliflower rice?
Pulse raw cauliflower florets in a food processor until rice-sized, or grate with a box grater. Cook in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, or microwave covered for 3-4 minutes.
Why does cauliflower smell when cooking?
Cauliflower contains sulfur compounds that release when cooked, especially when overcooked. To minimize odor, don't boil for more than 5 minutes, add a bay leaf, or use roasting or steaming methods.
