I've actually never had chili with rice but Lynda has a recipe for faux rice:

Thanks for the Link Blue. What do you eat with your chilli??

Re: chilli ?

I think eating chilli on rice is a UK variation!

My own recipe for 'caulirice' is to grate it then add a little salt and microwave - I dont add butter. My husband prefers this to 'real' rice!!

Re: chilli ?

Usually chili here has ground beef, kidney beans, tomatoes, green peppers. There are many variations but I can't wait to be able to make my own!

Re: chilli ?

thats just what i use to make mine Blue, and i usually serve it with some rice. Do you just eat it by itself or with a salad or something?

Re: chilli ?

Re: chilli ?

Im just so used to having it with rice! its hard to imagine eating it with something else! I think i will try it with a nice green leafy salad.

Re: chilli ?

Try the cauliflower 'rice' - it works great. I've fed it to people who were not on atkins and they were perfectly happy with it. I usually use a little bacon fat rather than butter and put some fried finely chopped onions and celery through it. I don't grate or chop it - too lazy, I just chuck it in a food processor and zap till the pieces are about rice sized, which takes almost no time.

Re: chilli ?

Chili in restaurants around here is served with either corn bread or totilla chips, Cafe.
There's probably low carb recipes for those two things around

I remember being amazed seeing Columbo eating chilli on its own from a bowl in those TV programmes. It was the first time I realised other countries have very different customs!
