Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 8 ounces Button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and core, then cut the cauliflower into florets.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble the size and texture of rice grains or couscous. Set aside.
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel, trim the ends, and slice them thinly.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and dice the onion.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, sautéing until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until they are tender and have released most of their moisture, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the butter, allowing it to melt, then add the cauliflower rice to the skillet.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine all ingredients. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice has softened but still retains a bit of bite.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Stir well to combine and allow the cheese to melt into the dish.
Serve the Keto Savory Mushroom Rice hot, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
