Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the core and leaves from the cauliflower and break it into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, grate the florets using a box grater.
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms. Dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are softened and slightly browned.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
