I love rice pilaf. There is something about the flavor and texture together that just put it over the top for me. So when I went low carb, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do until I remembered riced cauliflower. It really is amazing stuff. I’m finding that when I replace things like pasta and rice with vegetables, the vegetables end up giving the dish so much more flavor.

So far, I’ve experimented with Zoodles (zucchini noodles) to replace pasta and this cauli-rice in place of rice and I couldn’t be happier!

The flavor in this dish is just as good, if not better than the rice pilaf I used to make, and even my little guy enjoys it, which is saying something. He’s definitely at an age where he’s testing his food limits, so a thumbs up on veggies is a thumbs up from mom each and every time!
