Rice Subsitute?

Hello Everyone,

I make a wonderful curry (chicken, lamb or shrimp) with lots of vegetables.  I used to put it over rice, but since I had wls I cannot tolerate rice that well.  Two bites and I feel like I swallowed a ballon.  Are there any suitable subsitutes that I can use?

Thank you,
Kim

Buckwheat, Barley and Quinoa come to mind immediately

Also, Barilla's Orzo is a bit like rice.

Thank you, Martin!

I was gonna suggest Quinoa...plus it got a higher protein count that all the other grains...

Ok, is it hard to cook?

Not hard to cook at all.  Just as easy as making rice.

Ok, thank you.

quinoa is great, grated cauliflower, orzo, bulgar wheat

I've used chopped up cauliflower as a substitute for pasta sometimes. I suppose if chopped up fine, you could use it in place of rice. Use fresh, steam until barely tender. You need to be careful cause it goes beyond mushy real fast.

I've heard that quineoa, pronunced keen wah, should be rinsed throughly first and then cooked two parts liquid to one part quineoa. It also stated that it could be toasted in a dry frying pan for a couple of minutes to open up the flavor and then cooked, you may also use water or stock to cook it in and it takes about 15 - 20 min. to cook. I haven't tried it yet myself but have it on my shopping list this week and hope to be able to find it at the store or I may have to go to a health food store for it. Good luck if you find it and use it, it's supposed to be loaded with protein too.
