Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, riced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Vegetable stock
  • 9 oz (255 g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp (28 g / 0.99 oz) Butter
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Coconut cream, full-fat
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the best flavor, allow the mushrooms to get deeply golden brown before adding other . Don't overcrowd the pan; cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Use full-fat, canned coconut cream, not coconut milk from a carton, for the richest and creamiest sauce. You can substitute with heavy cream if you are not dairy-free.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cauliflower rice, as it can become mushy. You want it to be tender-crisp, similar to an al dente texture.
  • Elevate the dish by adding a clove of minced garlic with the mushrooms or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast at the end for a cheesy, umami flavor.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir the riced cauliflower into the skillet with the mushrooms.
  5. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut cream.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Allow the dish to gently simmer for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Serve immediately.
