Time 30m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 heads cauliflower
olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion (Diced)
2 cups chopped zucchini
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves (Chopped Fine)
1/2 cup table cream (Cream is Lower in Carbs) or 1/2 cup milk (Cream is Lower in Carbs)
1/2 cup chicken broth
fresh parsley (Garnish)
salt & pepper (To Taste)

Steps:

  • Make the Cauliflower "Rice". Using a food processor grind the fresh cauliflower until it is rice size.
  • Steam or Microwave for 5 Minutes.
  • Use a strainer if necessary to press out any addition liquid. Set Aside.
  • Sautee the onion and garlic in the olive in a frying pan.
  • Add zucchini cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add "rice", salt & pepper, cream and broth.
  • Cook until it starts to reduce approximately 8 min, add parm. cheese; stir.
  • Voila, your done. Very easy. I like to toss some fresh chopped Italian (Flat Leaf) Parsley right on top before serving. This makes a great hearty main course dish. Very Low Carb.
  • Substitutions: I like to mix it up and use different vegetables, or add meat like shrimp or chicken. Just keep all the basics the same, try making it with asparagus or mushrooms.
