Cauliflower Risotto image

Risotto is an Italian term describing a unique way to cook rice. Basically, the rice is cooked in broth or another liquid until it and the liquid swell to a creamy union. With this version of risotto, I use the same cooking method with cauliflower rice, thereby subtracting the calories and the carbs you'd get from rice.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 heads cauliflower, broken into florets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets 8 to 10 times, until it resembles small grains of rice.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sweat until translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the cauliflower and vegetable stock and cook until the cauliflower is softened and enough liquid has evaporated to make the mixture creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the Parmesan and let sit 5 minutes to thicken. Finish by stirring in the chives.

I didn't have any white wine on hand, so I used dry vermouth instead. The risotto still turned out great!

The risotto was too watery. I had to cook it for an extra 10 minutes to get it to the right consistency.

The risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This is the best cauliflower risotto I've ever had! The cauliflower was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and cheesy.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but this risotto was surprisingly good! The cauliflower was cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced.

The risotto was easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious.
