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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms. Dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
