Spanish Rice and Cauli Bowls
My cauliflower-hating husband was non the wiser when I served him this Spanish Rice and Cauliflower dish. The finely minced cruciferous bites become one with the grain-based. And the bold seasoning further unifies the ingredients. If you prefer a mellower flavor, simply increase the rice to 4 cups.
