Blitz In a food processer will give the best results.
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower, cut it into quarters and remove most of the thick core, then cut each quarter into two or three chunks. You don’t want to overload the blender, or it will struggle to blitz the cauliflower, instead work with about half the cauliflower at a time.
Blend for 30 seconds or so, until the cauliflower resembles fine rice, or couscous.
Stir-frying
We stir-fried our cauliflower rice in a little olive oil, for 5 minutes. Although we found this gave it a lovely, nutty flavour and colour, the texture was less pleasing. We were left with soggy cauliflower rice, which clumped together in places.
Roasting
This was our favourite method of cooking. We tossed the rice in a drizzle of olive oil in a tray, then spread it out to a thin, even layer. We then roasted the ‘rice’ at 200C for 12 minutes, mixing it in the tray halfway through cooking. This dried the rice out, giving it a light, fluffy texture and intensified the flavour.
Alternative You can buy pre-made Cauli Rice from the supermarket but make sure the ingredients list 100% Cauliflower.

Best thing since a slice of cake.! After seeing a picture of myself at Christmas 2015, l decided to do something so l took the plunge and phoned Alevere. Hard bit done, the diet is simple, follow it as advised, and watch the pounds fall off, and they literally did. The hardest thing is walking through the doors, but remember everyone there is in your shoes. I feel 21 again.
