Ready for a new fact? Here it goes...I don't really like rice. WHOA! A self-proclaimed foodie who doesn't like rice? I know, it's weird but it is real, my friends.
Who just walked out after reading that?
I'm sorry to all of those who I have just majorly let down, but listen, I cannot help it. I would rather eat quinoa or couscous or noodles or potato. Okay, you probably got my point after I said "I don't really like rice," but I always feel like it's just there to fill up the rest of the plate. Of course there are exceptions (as there are to any rules); I like it as part of a recipe- chilaquile or stuffed peppers, for example. And, I DO like risotto. I actually love risotto but I just don't really care for a side of plain rice. So, I think I am done trying to explain my rice issue.

Behold: CAULIFLOWER RICE! I don't know who thought of this concept but it's probably one of the coolest ideas ever.
What? That’s not even close to the same thing, you say? Just you wait. And, as quoted straight from Peter's mouth, "This is better than the real thing."As I worked on this curried seafood recipe, I decided my version of the cauliflower rice would include coconut infused oil, because coconut goes.so.well.with.curry!
Still not sold on the fact cauliflower rice is a great substitute (I say better) for actual rice? Look at the pictures, and better yet, try this recipe! Obviously I am still in awe over this concept.
This curried seafood and "rice" dish happened in two attempts (sometimes it takes me months), so that already makes me like it. But seriously, it's my favorite thing happening in this kitchen right now! I kinda wish I could just have you all over for dinner.
Cheers to the person who thought of cauliflower rice! And cheers to the first person who cracked open a coconut and tasted it (they weretotally rad brave)!
