Cook the rice.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil for 7 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the cauliflower boils, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the carrots, celery, thyme, and rosemary. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables just begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute, or until it begins to soften.
