Low Carb Mushroom Pilaf

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.

    This was delicious but I did add a little cayenne pepper.

      Do you have to cook the cauliflower first

        Hi, no the cauliflower is cooked within the above recipe steps - you do not need to cook it beforehand. Hope this helps.

      How many cups would two small cauliflower heads make? For those who do not like to rice cauliflower and buy it that way.

        Hi, it's an estimate but this should be around 2 cups.
