Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower into rice: Remove the leaves, cut the cauliflower into florets, and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Set aside.
Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and chicken broth, mixing well to ensure the pumpkin is evenly distributed.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to combine with the pumpkin mixture.
Season with thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.
Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and serve warm.
