Preparation
In batches, put the cauliflower florets in a food processor and blend until they form a ‘rice’ consistency. Set aside in a bowl.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, stirring occasionally. Set aside in a bowl.
Return the pan to heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and sauté for around 3 minutes, or until everything’s translucent.
Add the cooked mushrooms, cauliflower ‘rice’, chicken stock, salt and pepper to the pan as well. Stir everything well, cover, and cook for 4 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir through the cheese and parsley until the Parmesan and mozzarella have melted.
Serve warm with chicken
