Truffle-Buttered Cauliflower ‘Rice’

With a lovely head of cauliflower from our local CSA this week I decided to roast half of it with Moroccan-inspired spices and to make this delicious cauliflower ‘rice’ dish with the second half.  Simple to make and open-to-be-flavored in any way you desire, I decided to saute the cauliflower bits with a touch of black truffle butter and sliced, peppery scallions.  A grating of Parmesan cheese to finish and there you have it–my fragrant Truffle-Buttered Cauliflower ‘Rice.’
