Cauliflower and Carrot Rice with Browned Butter Recipe

Over Christmas my Aunt made the most delicious cauliflower and carrot dish. Seriously. Everyone was going back for seconds. For weeks after, I tried to recreate it at home until I finally asked her the secret sauce and learned about the brown butter. That is the full 4 oz. of browned butter from this Ina Garten recipe. Since that wasn't going to work for a healthy recipe, I set out to make a lightened up version that still incorporated brown butter, just not so much. I also made it as a rice but the original recipe calls for a mash. Either is delicious.

Instructions

(Hide Photos)
1

Pulse the cauliflower and carrots in a food processor until in small rice like pieces. Add to a pot with 1/4 cup of water and cook until tender on low heat, about 6-8 minutes. For mash, boil the carrots and cauliflower for 20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash.

2

Melt the butter in a small pan over medium low heat. Cook until it is just golden brown. Watch carefully because it goes from browned to burnt quickly.

3

Add the browned butter to the rice or mash. Season well with salt and pepper.
