This creamy cauliflower mushroom risotto is the perfect low carb side dish. It's so rich and delicious, you won't believe it's grain-free.
Ingredients
-
¼ cup butter
-
8 ounces mushrooms chopped
-
2 cloves garlic minced
-
12 ounces riced cauliflower (frozen or fresh)
-
¼ cup dry white wine (option to use ¼ cup of Broth instead of the wine)
-
½ cup chicken broth
-
4 tablespoons heavy cream
-
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a large sauté pan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and hot. Add the chopped mushrooms and garlic and sauté until mushrooms are tender and just turning golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium low, add the cauliflower, and toss to coat in the butter. Add the white wine and cook until the liquid has bubbled away. Add the broth a few tablespoons at a time, stirring frequently and letting it evaporate each time.
When the cauliflower is becoming tender, add a little more broth and a few tablespoons of cream. Cover with a lid and continue to cook, allowing the cauliflower to steam until tender. Adding a bit more broth and/or cream if needed.
Stir in the Parmesan and add any additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with additional grated Parmesan as desired.
Recipe Note
I paired this with BBQed salmon and steamed broccoli. But this goes great with any white meat or any fish.
