Righto-got some of that cauli crumb stuff. Now what?

I've tried cauliflower rice and mash, although DH didn't like the mash so much. Very handy if you are on a low carb diet but I think it's just as easy to stick with califlower cheese.

But why would you want to ?!

I've managed to make another pizza base today, with more success, and minus the egg!

Loving the ideas-thanks!!

I put mine in the microwave for 6 minutes then when cool mix in 2 eggs put on baking parchment and spread out to look like a pizza. Cook 20 mins 200 then top with pizza topping back in the oven10 mins lovely - good luck

What happens to the cauliflower stalks?

I think I'll stick to cauliflower cheese ( with broccoli, carrot or any other veg lying around).

I made Ottolenghi's cauliflower rice fritters the other day. Very tasty, but a bit of a faff as with many of his recipes. No problems though. Other alternatives to rice are amaranth and quinoa which are higher in protein so, I assume, lower in carbs. Not a nutritionist so not sure of my facts here.

As they say "Your never too old to learn"

KatyK that sounds tasty...... Now I just need to convince H !

We buy a cauliflower, break up the flower bit, zap it in the food processor then put it in a bowl, cover with cling film, prick a few holes in the cling film and then microwave it for about 7 minutes. I love it as an alternative to rice (far less calories). You can add a few spices if you find it a bit bland. Never tried the pizza thing though.

a quick stir-fry with a drop of oil ,to soften it up a bit, then use like cooked rice.

Easiest to microwave it with salt and butter.

Have you tried BBC Good Food or googled it or even tried Pinterest they have loads of recipes.

Next time I'll follow hildas recipe. If there's a next time.

nina I didn't know what everyone was on about either, until I noticed people on the web raving about its low carb properties. I'm trying to cut down on bread products so thought it'd be ideal.

Well, I've made a pizza. It took the addition of a egg, flour and oil to get it to hang together, so it's not as low calorie as i thought....never mind, it was actually quite tasty.

Off to google the 5:2 recipes now.

I think life's too short for this.

I think I'm on a parallel universe. I've no idea what your all talking about

Use cauliflower rice a lot, but never tried this...

Is it cauli rice? If so look on 5:2 diet forums for ideas and recipes.

If this is what you're making gettingonabit detoxinista.com/2012/01/the-secret-to-perfect-cauliflower-pizza-crust/ the recipe says to boil the caulk rice for 4-5 minutes. It isn't meant to absorb the water!

No instructions on the pot?

Throw it in the bin
Sit down with a nice cup of tea and a !
