This simple technique transforms a head of cauliflower into a bowl of veggie "couscous" or cauliflower rice. Freeze the cauliflower raw or cook immediately and use in a healthy side dish. Try adding caramelized onions or a pinch of chile powder.

Method
Working in 2 batches, pulse cauliflower in a food processor until finely chopped but not puréed. (If desired, transfer cauliflower to freezer-safe resealable plastic bags at this point and freeze for up to 3 months.)
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot.
Put 3 cups of the cauliflower couscous in the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. (Cauliflower will stick to the pan slightly and begin to brown.)
Stir in 3 tablespoons water and remove from heat, stirring until water evaporates. Repeat with remaining cauliflower.
