Cauliflower Rice

Break up a head of cauliflower and trim off tough ends of the stems. Soak pieces in salt water for 1/2 hour, and rinse. Steam cauliflower pieces until very tender, and then drain off any liquid.

In a large bowl or pot, mash steamed cauliflower with a potato masher until it is the consistency of rice.

The cauliflower 'rice' can be flavored or seasoned according to taste. If serving with Indian food, the raw cauliflower can be boiled with a cinnamon stick and saffron, rather than steamed. Adding ground nutmeg to it once it is mashed also gives it a nice flavor.
