Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup white onion, (chopped fine)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 8 ounces white button mushrooms, (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 12 ounces riced cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth, (heated)
  • 4 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Clean and finely slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the onion.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add butter and allow to melt. Once the butter has melted and is hot, add onion and sauté until onion is translucent (4-5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add lemon juice, thyme, salt, pepper and sliced mushrooms. Fry for a few minutes until the mushrooms start to release their juices.
  • Add cauliflower and stir to coat with the melted butter. Add the white wine and stir until it has mostly evaporated.
  • Turn the heat down to low. Add the vegetable broth 1/4 cup at a time while stirring. Allow most of the vegetable broth to bubble away before adding the next 1/4 cup.
  • Once the last bit of broth has been added, stir in the cream.
  • Cover the pan and cook for a further 3 - 5 minutes till the cauliflower has steamed through and is tender.
  • Remove from the heat and add the parmesan cheese. Mix well and serve. Garnish with more parmesan cheese if desired.
