Will the rice be to mushy in the dish should I fry the rice a little first ?

I dont know about the rice but that's gonna be pretty high carb. I would cut the tomatoes back to half a can or something.

Beebs it makes 4-6 servings  so that would be 3-5 carbs a serving . I guess I could use the Marinara sauce it would be a little less . I was mostly wondering if the cauli rice would turn out to mushy

[Doug Varrieur]

I would'nt use any water at all. Put the recipe together as prescribed minus the water AND the raw cauli rice. Place it in the oven for 20 minutes then pull it out....now mix in the raw cauli rice and place it back into the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. This way the cauli rice won't turn into mush.

Thank you sir !

You need to cut the veggies in half Jo.Way too many carbs for one meal.You could probally get the same flavor of the tomatoes using chunky salsa.
