Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, riced (or 4 cups of pre-riced cauliflower)

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (your choice of varieties)

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: If using a whole cauliflower, remove the leaves and stem, then cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

        Add Garlic and Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

          Combine with Cauliflower Rice: Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, mixing well to combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

            Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your healthy, low-carb meal!
