I hesitate to call this dish “rice” because it’s not rice. Cauliflower is not rice. But I’ve tried this dish a few different ways, and the best version is the one in which the cauliflower is “riced,” so that’s what I’ll call it. But I am still firmly in the “cauliflower is not rice” camp, in case anyone wants to know.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about all the good things in this dish. Cauliflower, of course. And lots of browned mushrooms, that are sautéed with onions and garlic in a hefty dose of Ava Jane’s Kitchen Avocado Oil. There’s fresh greens, and a crazy good seasoning blend — Sayulita Steak and Veg. It’s nothing but veggies, but you won’t think that when you taste it, it’s just that good.

For your cauliflower, you can either put a head of cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, or you can buy a bag of pre-riced cauliflower. Use whatever mushrooms you like, or a mix.

This would be amazing with a big juicy steak, or you could stuff it in bell peppers if you want even more veggies. It’s Paleo, vegan, and keto friendly, so it covers all your bases if you’re having a dinner party and wondering what to serve. Oh, and did I mention that for not being rice, it’s super, extra, over top delicious? Well, it is.
