Ingredients 
 

  • 1 tablespoon of ghee
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 12-ounce bags frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1/2 a 16-ounce bag frozen broccoli, chopped in the food processor
  • 12- ounces cooked protein of choice, chopped (I used 8 leftover pesto meatballs)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, grated or finely minced
  • 1/2 cup pesto combined with 1/2 cup bone broth
  • garnish: pinenuts or other nut of choice, optional

Instructions 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ghee, onion, salt + pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add in the frozen cauliflower rice + chopped frozen broccoli. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thawed and starting to turn nutty brown.
  • Add in the chopped protein of choice. Cook another 5 minutes until warmed through.
  • Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour over the pesto + bone broth. Stir, and cook for 3-5 minutes until absorbed and creamy. Taste for salt + pepper. Adjust if needed.
  • Serve warm topped with pinenuts.
  • Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 1 week refrigerated.
