Is cauliflower rice good?

Do you cook it with the rice? Add it towards the end?

This is the most accurate description of cauliflower rice I've seen. This is what I'll say from now on when people ask why I don't like it!

Yes, I cook it with the rice. Usually, I heat it in the microwave for a minute so it’s not frozen solid, and add it on top of the rice, when I add the rice to water. Bring all to boil and then cook normally, sometimes add a few more minutes to cooking time. I also add a bit more salt than I would if I wasn’t adding cauliflower. When rice is done, mix it up so it’s mixed with the rice.

Yes, this. A similar idea - get a biggish teflon pan, spray with a bit of olive or coconut oil, and pan-toast till an appetizing color with smoked paprika and a little salt. Great as an alongside with grilled anything, or as PPs have said with Indian, Thai etc. Getting much of the water out improves the texture IMO.

I just add it frozen about 5 minutes before the rice is finished cooking..still just a bit of liquid in the post.

My husband eats it all the time as a substitute for rice. When that smell of cauliflower rice permeates the kitchen, I want to run out screaming...everytime!

I like the fresh stuff but frozen tastes horrible beyond belief.

I’ve had it at someone else’s house as cilantro lime rice and that was quite good (I didn’t make it and don’t know what recipe) and I use it as “rice” sometimes in Spam Fried Rice. It tastes somewhat sharper but it’s pretty good and it’s healthier than cauliflower. I like “pantry” meals sometimes.
