What it is
A low-carb reinterpretation of the traditional Armenian bulgur pilaf, this dish replaces high-carb grains with finely riced cauliflower. It's sautéed with mushrooms, onions, and fresh herbs like parsley and dill, cooked in butter and olive oil for a rich, savory flavor. Traditionally served with meat, it can be a standalone side.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower rice, cremini mushrooms, yellow onions, butter, olive oil, vegetable broth, fresh parsley, fresh dill, salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no bulgur or rice is used. Confirm no sugar is added to the vegetable broth. Request extra butter or olive oil for increased fat content. Verify no flour or starch is used as a thickener.
