What Is Cauliflower Risotto 

Cauliflower Risotto is a low-carb and healthy version of the traditional risotto. It’s made of riced cauliflower, sautéed with shallots and garlic, and then cooked with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to create a creamy and rich dish.

Cauliflower Risotto Ingredients

• 16 ounces of riced cauliflower (about 1 head), 
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

How To Make Cauliflower Risotto

2. Cook Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower and cook over medium heat for 12 minutes, stirring often.
3. Add Cream and Cheese: Add the cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper and stir well. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and the mixture is thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.

3. Cream Alternatives: Substitute the heavy cream with an equal amount of light cream, almond milk, or half and half. Adjust to taste if using a less creamy alternative.
