Cauliflower Rice

I've come across cauliflower rice on a number of websites lately. The idea is to use cauliflower as a lower calorie and lower carb alternative to rice, so I thought it was worth a try. The version I used came from nomnompaleo although I used sunflower oil rather than coconut.

Ingredients (serves 1)
1/2 cauliflower (approx 200g) chopped into medium chunks
1/4 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp sunflower oil
Salt/pepper

* heat the oil in a pan and saute the onion and garlic for 5 minutes until translucent
* grate the cauliflower. Blitzing it in a food processor would be quicker, but I don't have one.
* add the cauliflower to the pan, season and stir well then cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally
* serve in place of rice

Obviously it doesn't actually taste like rice, it tastes of cauliflower, but the texture is pretty good.
