Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 teaspoon Better than Bouillon with ½ cup water (can sub with chicken or vegetable broth to equal ½ cup)
  • ¼ cup onion, finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 ounces brie, brine off and cubed

Instructions

  1. Rice cauliflower by adding florets to a food processor. Pulse until it it becomes rice like grains. Take out and set aside. Also finely dice onions and slice mushrooms thinly. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw and drain any excess liquid from it before adding to the pan.

  2. Get out a saute pan and heat to medium heat. Add butter and once melted add the mushrooms and onions.

  3. Saute for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and the mushrooms have browned a bit.

  4. Add the crushed garlic, cauliflower and Better than Bouillon mixed with water. Mix and then cover and cook for 5 minutes.

  5. Take lid off and add in brie. Cover for a minute or two until the brie has melted. Mix well and let sit for a minute or two to set up a bit before serving.

  6. Serve with fresh grated parmesan (optional) or garnish with herbs like fresh thyme or parsley (optional). Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

  • *You can substitute stock or broth for the Better than Bouillon. Just use ½ cup of liquid total.
  • You can use any flavor of Better than Bouillon or even broth. I use chicken or beef flavor because that's what I have, but BTB has a mushroom flavor that would be awesome.
