Ingredients

  • 2 pounds broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan plus shaved Parmesan for serving
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Break the broccoli into florets. Trim just the bottom off the stem, and then roughly chop all the stems. Pulse in a food processor until the broccoli is the size of rice. Depending on your food processor, you may need to do this in batches.
  • In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until they start to brown. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and continue cooking for a few minutes until the mushrooms are caramelized and fragrant. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same sauté pan over medium high heat. Sauté the shallots, letting them soften, about 3-4 minutes, add the broccoli rice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook the rice, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, until it is warmed but still crisp. Fold in the mushrooms, grated Parmesan and parsley.
  • Top with shaved Parmesan before serving.

Notes

You can substitute the broccoli and instead use cauliflower.
