Cool, I'll have to give that a shot with the cauli. I bought a small bag of medium grain brown rice that I want to try with it too. Still rice, but maybe not quite as bad.
Yeah, I just use a pinch too, with the hot water it seems to provide plenty of flavor. That recipe is on foodtv.com and is from Tyler Florence btw, in case you want to go and print it out or something. We tried a couple other recipes but this one was the easiest and tastiest we found.
