Cauliflower rice is a Paleo and AIP staple you’ll see in a lot of recipes. As easy as it is to make, there is a trick to it–you don’t want your cauliflower to be too wet when you toss it in the pan and you don’t want to overcook it, either, or you’ll wind up with a bit of a mush!

Hi I am new to this AIP and want to make the Cauliflower Rice. Do you cut it up into small pieces before cooking it in the oil? I don’t understand how it goes from Cauliflower to rice? Can you please explain a little more!
thank you so much!

You can shred it in a food processor or with a box grater into rice-sized pieces, called “ricing”.
