Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium yellow onions thinly sliced into half-circles
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 ounces about 3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Cover and cook until the onions are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add ¼ cup water and thyme, cover the pan again and cook until the onions are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, ground pepper and an additional ¼ cup water. Cover the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Add the cauliflower rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the spinach and feta cheese, and stir until the spinach is just wilted. Stir in the parsley. Serve.
