Best Cauliflower Risotto With Snap Peas And Mushrooms Recipes

CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO" WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS AND PEAS

Steps:

• Pour 2 cups boiling water into a large bowl. Add dried mushrooms; let stand until rehydrated, about 20 minutes. Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and pat dry; chop into smaller pieces. Reserve soaking liquid.
• Pour chicken broth into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cover and keep warm.
• Process cauliflower in a food processor fitted with a shredding disc into grains the size of rice.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add shallot; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add cauliflower rice, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
• Stir 1 cup of warm chicken broth into the pot; simmer until absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, simmering until it is absorbed and cauliflower rice is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir chopped mushrooms, peas, balsamic vinegar, and thyme into the pot. Cook and stir until mushrooms and peas are heated through, about 5 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO" WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower rice, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the cauliflower and stir to incorporate, then add the milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a gentle boil. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese until incorporated, then add the shrimp and the peas.
• Return to a simmer, then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and no longer translucent and the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes more. Season with additional salt to taste, then serve immediately, garnished with basil and the remaining Parmesan.
