Recipe Notes
As mentioned, the cauliflower should be prepared by first removing the florets from the stem and then discarding of the center (or sharing it with your compost like I like to do :) ). The florets should be trimmed to a one to one and a half inch size.
Also mentioned, this recipe can be made in a food processor. However, I am a huge fan of my Vitamix Blender and like to use that sometimes. Folks without a food processor or strong blender can try using a simple grater instead. *Please check the nutritional labels to assure that you are sticking to your diet restrictions for any substitutions used. - see post for alternatives
