no, it never appealed to me either!Cauliflower rice doesn't appeal to me in the slightest either.

Supermarkets here are now selling par-cooked cauliflower rice (some plain, some flavoured) in packs with instructions that it must be made immediately the pack is opened and cannot be reheated. They also sell cauliflower couscous. Both sound equally disgustingno, it never appealed to me either!

Couscous is a pasta I believe.
Shape, I suspect.Yes I know that of course. I'd be worried about me if I didn't! I meant what was the difference between cauliflower couscous and cauliflower rice.
So the rice version is just less blitzed than the couscous version? It is just blitzed cauliflower at the end of the day.Shape, I suspect.
Shop bought reconstituted is probably blitzed, dehydrated, shaped with filler added to hold together and then vacuum packed or similar... But I would hazard a guess at the ingredients being more or less identical tbh! Not that I've seen either let alone tried them. But when I made the pizza crust version it was steamed and compressed to remove as much water/moisture as possible. Most of the cauliflower taste and smell was in the water not the mash that you were left with so there wasn't a huge cauliflower taste to the pizza crust which worked very well.So the rice version is just less blitzed than the couscous version?

Not the kind I am talking about (and, I think, the one @Elawin referred to) which is sold in the fresh vegetable section of the supermarkets and is definitely raw blitzed cauliflower. Here are the types I found:Shop bought reconstituted is probably blitzed, dehydrated, shaped with filler added to hold together and then vacuum packed or similar..
It was the Tesco ones I was referring to, but wasn't give the option of a frozen pack. That doesn't mean that they don't do it in our local store though.Not the kind I am talking about (and, I think, the one @Elawin referred to) which is sold in the fresh vegetable section of the supermarkets and is definitely raw blitzed cauliflower.

This one is simply 100% raw cauliflower blitzed:

So sometimes its called rice and sometimes couscous....
Here you go, a much better picture of the word fired pizza oven... Don't think any code was adhered to!Wow, what a PITA to fire up the pizza oven, kind of makes it not even worth spending the money to build. The fire bricks and all the high heat stuff to build to code here is $$$.
