I think its a brilliant substitute for rice etc, particularly when paired with something strong flavoured like a curry BUT I can rarely be bothered with the faff of making it and dont like the end result when making lots and freezing it then cooking some, so dont use it that often
Id seen this product which is preprepared and longlife https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-cauliflower-rice-200g BUT was put off by the price so hadnt tried it
Given that I needed to find something for my mum that met the need for lower carbs and met her carers need for something they can just stick in the microwave, I finally experimented with the caulirice and am quite impressed - mixed 1/2 pkt up with a chopped up baby pepper, a couple of sliced mushroom, some soy sauce, some pumpkin seeds and some sunflower seeds. Microwaved for 2 min then added an egg and microwaved for another minute - a very acceptable low carb alternative to egg fried rice for lunch
I think if I mix up something similar but without microwaving it then portion it up as an accompniment to portions of cooked stir fry / curry before freezing them ready for the carers then that should meet all the needs and give my mum more food choices of the kind she enjoys - job done ( well except for all the batch cooking, portioning, freezing etc that I’ll be doing next week, of which this will be one part)
