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.
