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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir in the pumpkin puree and chicken broth, mixing well to ensure the pumpkin is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to combine with the pumpkin mixture.
Step 6
Season with thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.
Step 8
Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and serve warm.
