Instructions

Step 1: Prepare 1 medium cauliflower head by grating it into rice-sized pieces using a box grater or pulse in a food processor; set aside.

Step 3: Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown.
Step 4: Stir in the cauliflower rice and 2 tbsp coconut aminos, cooking for 5-7 minutes while stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is tender yet slightly firm.
Step 5: Add 3 thinly sliced green onions, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, stirring to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro on top if desired. Serve warm as a nutritious Whole30-friendly side dish.
