If you’re like me and don’t eat grains, then easy substitutions are necessary to recreate certain recipes. You can use this recipe to make the cauliflower rice as a side dish or or increase the amount of cauliflower to use it for a pizza crust. Cauliflower is very versatile. You can even puree it to use as a substitute for flour in pancakes.
What are your favorite ways to use cauliflower as a substitute for other items?
Cauliflower Rice
Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add the oil and let it melt.
