Cauliflower used for rice or potatoes

We use cauliflower a lot.  As a substitute for rice or potatoes.  So here is the recipe for both

Cauliflower for rice

2 heads of cauliflower

Cut cauliflower off core. Place in colander and rinse well.  Steam in colander until tender.  Put cauliflower in bowl and with a spatula chop until fine. (about the size of rice).

For Potatoes

After cooking cauliflower mash with potato masher or put in a blender or food processor until the consistency of potatoes.

Serving size 3/4 - 1 cup
Calories 22-29 calories.

That cuts the calories drastically if replacing your rice or potatoes.

3/4 cup of potatoes is 149 calories
3/4 cup rice is 154 calories. - Big difference.
