How to Make It
Step 1
Start by finely dicing the cremini mushrooms. Set them aside for later use.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a wide skillet over a low heat. Toss in the cauliflower rice and make sure all the pieces get coated in butter. Keep the heat on low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the rice stew in the butter for 3-4 minutes to soak it all in. The cauliflower may turn slightly golden, but don’t let it char anywhere.
Step 3
Stir in the mushrooms and well as all the seasonings. Let the mixture cook, covered, on low heat for another 2-3 minutes to soften the mushrooms.
Step 4
Finally, stir in the parmesan in 2-3 additions, letting each addition melt before adding more. Once all the cheese is melted, serve.
