Arroz de Cogumelos

Arroz de Cogumelos is a delightful low-carb Brazilian dish that combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with seasoned cauliflower rice. This dish is not only satisfying but also a healthy alternative to traditional rice, making it perfect for those watching their carb intake.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Mixed mushrooms (such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster) - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable broth - 250 milliliters
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parmesan cheese (optional) - 30 grams, grated

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. In a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the mixed mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and browned.
4. Stir in the cauliflower rice and pour in the vegetable broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
