I would like to see how many cups of cauliflower you get out of a head of cauliflower so I could use either frozen or riced cauliflower.

This sounds very tasty. It is a lot like potato pancakes. I have often seen different ways to make cauliflower, but have not tried them. I will have to try this. I get in a rut sometimes and am afraid to try something new. I am always on the look out for more healthy recipes.

I would NEVER BOIL cauliflower and onions. It would ruin the flavor unless you like tasteless mush and it removes the nutrients. Instead I would saute the onions and roast the cauliflower then put them in a food processor to combine. Instead of bread crumbs, I would use cooked quinoa, millet, buckwheat or brown rice to give it more protein and fiber. Instead of cayenne, I would add fresh minced garlic. I have a head of cauliflower so I plan on making this recipe with my alterations. Happy Cooking everyone!
