Yum! Mushrooms & Cauliflower

Garlic Mushrooms over Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients:

·       24 oz Mushrooms (whatever kind you like)

·       1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil or vegetable broth 

·       2 Cloves Garlic, chopped

·       Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning or Italian Seasoning, pepper to taste

·       Dash (or two) of a balsamic glaze

·       One head of cauliflower

Heat olive oil in a frying pan then add garlic and cook at a medium heat for a couple of minutes stirring constantly. Add the mushrooms, continue cooking & stirring for another minute or so. Season with a dash or two of balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning to taste.

Reduce heat to  as low as you can go then cover the mushrooms. Leave the garlic mushrooms to sweat for at least ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Take the lid off and let them cook for at least another 10 minutes, to caramelize. 

While mushrooms are cooking, grate cauliflower by hand or with a food processor.  Place grated cauliflower in a steamer with water and steam until softened.  Transfer “rice” into a serving dish and scoop mushrooms over cauliflower rice.

Options: you can add onions or shallots to the mushrooms.  If you are feeling a bit lazy, you can steam whole cauliflower and mash with a potato masher.  


Serve and Enjoy!  For those of you who are vegan, enjoy simply alone and for those of you that are carnivores, this is a great side dish.
