Cauliflower rice is light and fluffy, and it’s a tasty replacement for couscous or rice in your meal. This recipe, created by award-winning and renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson, is a stellar option. Sautéing shallots, scallions, and ginger build aroma and flavor right from the start, while the almond milk added with the cauliflower gives the dish richer texture. The raisins and slivered almonds add contrasting sweetness and crunch. If you’re using a food processor, you’ll need to cut the cauliflower into pieces, and then pulse it in short intervals until its chopped into rice-sized bits. You may need to work in batches so you don’t overload it.
