Cauliflower Wild Rice Recipe

The other day I was making my Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce, and my favorite side to serve with pork is wild rice.  You know the one I'm talking about, the old school Uncle Ben's Long Grain Wild Rice kind.  Oh man I love that stuff, but like everyone else I am trying to lighten things up and cut those cards, so I decided to try and find a cauliflower rice version.  To my surprise I couldn't find anything on Pinterest so I though "Mandee, you're a food blogger, YOU DO IT!"  


Well, I'm so excited to say that with a little experimenting I have come up with a DELICIOUS Cauliflower Wild Rice Recipe that is so herbaceous and full of flavor I dare say you won't even miss the real thing!  I can't wait to share it with you so...

Let's Get Started!

For this amazing low card Cauliflower Wild Rice Recipe you will need a few simple ingredients.


  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Oil
  • 1 12 oz bag of Frozen Cauliflower Rice
  • 1 c Carrots, diced (for keto omit)
  • 1 c Celery, diced
  • 1 c Mushrooms, diced
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 Vegetable Broth


To begin you will place a deep pan over a medium/high heat.
Add the butter and oil to the pan and allow it to get HOT.


While the pan is heating up finish prepping your vegetables.
This is a great way to get a TON of veggies into those kiddos without them even knowing.


Once the pan is hot add the carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms.
Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies are soft and translucent and the mushrooms are golden brown.


Next, add the garlic to the pan and cook just long enough to smell it coming up from the pan.


Now you will add the frozen cauliflower flower rice to the pan.

Yes you can use fresh, homemade cauliflower rice here.  It doesn't really change the cook time too much, but for me the convenience of the pre-made rice is worth the small extra cost.


Season the Cauliflower Wild Rice with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Give everything a stir so that all the vegetables are coated.


Now add the vegetable stock.


Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower is fully cooked, tender, and the stock has reduced by half in the pan.


And there you have it!  This Cauliflower Wild Rice Recipe is perfect served with any protein.  I'll even tell you that Studhubs, who is the king of carnivores, went in for seconds.  It's absolutely delicious.  I know you and your entire family are going to love it so get in the kitchen and give it a try tonight!  And as always...

Happy Reading, Happy Eating, and Happy Living,
