Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups cauliflower finely chopped
  • 3 cups mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower, mushrooms, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies are softened.
  • Remove from the heat, top with extra lime juice and serve immediately!

Notes

  • I love the addition of cilantro, but if it's not a favorite of yours, replace the with an equal amount of flat-leaf parsley.
  • If you use a food processor to rice the veggies, do this in batches and be careful not to over-puree. This will create a watery, mushy mess.
  • If excess moisture is present, press a paper towel into the mixture to absorb it.
  • Add a touch of delicious indulgence by sprinkling Parmesan cheese over the top just before serving.
  • Optional flavor add-ins: soy sauce, fresh garlic, green onions, bell peppers or other fresh herbs such as fresh thyme or fresh parsley.
  • Lime juice and lemon juice can be used interchangeably.
  • Spruce up the dish by adding a splash of hot sauce.
  • Use in place of fried rice for a side dish with less sodium.
