Cauliflower grains turned yellow with turmeric and full of parsley and cilantro, so they look like herbed rice and are eaten the same way. Good next to chicken or fish, and also as a base for a vegetarian bowl.
Break the cauliflower into florets, dry well and pulse in a food processor in two batches into small grains the size of rice.
