This side dish is decadent and delicious. It makes a fantastic accompaniment to a lighter protein like a nice piece of fish or some simple baked chicken.

Cauliflower Rice Pilaf
1 head cauliflower
4 Tbsp + 2 Tbsp. unsalted grass fed butter
2 Tbsp. fat of choice (I used olive oil)
1 shallot
4 cloves garlic
16 ounces bone broth (I used chicken)
1/2 cup almonds
Salt & pepper
Hand full parsley (optional)
Chop the almonds and dry toast in your biggest pan over medium-high heat. Remove and set aside.
While the almonds are toasting, chop the garlic and shallot.
Add 4 Tbsp. of the butter + the fat to the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and melt. Add the shallot & garlic when melted and cook until translucent.
While the aromatics are working, rice your cauliflower.
Add the cauliflower to the pan when done, along with 2 big pinches salt and some pepper. Add the bone broth and stir. Cook until all the liquid has been absorbed.
To serve, finish with the rest of the butter, the almonds and a hand full of chopped parsley if desired.
