In this cauliflower rice pilaf, frozen riced cauliflower stands in for rice. With a pretty yellow color from turmeric, and lots of flavor from shallots, mushrooms, and carrots, this side dish is as savory as it is attractive.

Ingredients

  • unsalted butter: 2 Tbsp
  • shallots: 0.66667 cup (diced)
  • fresh white mushrooms: 0.66667 cup (chopped)
  • carrots: 3 Tbsp (shredded)

  5. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in fresh minced parsley and place in a serving  dish. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Cook’s Note Frozen cauliflower releases a lot of water as it cooks. Add the chicken base only, with no extra water.
