1 head (1.5 lb) cauliflower
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 Tbs butter
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon peel; grated
salt and pepper; (to taste)


Wash, clean, and trim the cauliflower, discarding any green leaves. (Save the leaves for soup.) Shred the cauliflower by hand using the largest holes of your grater to produce rice-like little nubbins, or process it on 'pulse' in your food processor.
Place the cauliflower nubbins and chicken broth in a microwave container with a lid or in a bowl tightly covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap and steam in the microwave until the cauliflower is just tender.
Remove the faux rice from the microwave and stir in the butter, lemon juice, and grated lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
