1/4cupgrated Parmesan plus shaved Parmesan for serving
1tablespoonchopped 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.
