About

This deliciously simple side is a low carb take on a traditional pilaf. Using cauliflower in place of rice to soak up the veggie stock, this mushroom pilaf is a great accompaniment to meats or as a vegetarian side with curried vegetables.

Quick to prepare but full on flavor this pilaf is great as part of a simple lunch or midweek dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 small head (4 in. dia) cauliflower
  • 1 cup, pieces or slices mushrooms raw
  • ½ small onions
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¾ cup vegetable stock pot by knorr

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add the butter and olive oil to a large saucepan or casserole dish over a low/medium heat.
  2. Slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic and finely dice the onions. Add to the pan and fry gently until soft and tender, around 4/5 minutes.
  3. Grate the cauliflower to form a ‘rice’ and add to the pan. Stir well to combine.
