Description

Cauliflower rice stands in for arborio in this recipe that's not only lower in carbs than traditional risotto, but also way faster and easier to make! In just 20 minutes you'll have a flavorful and healthy vegetable side to go with dinner.

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add cauliflower rice, pepper and salt; cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 3 to 6 minutes.
  2. Whisk broth, wine and cornstarch in a small bowl and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the liquid is creamy and thick, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, herbs and butter.

Tips

  • Tip: To make your own cauliflower rice, working in batches, pulse 8 cups cauliflower florets in a food processor until chopped into rice-size pieces. If using frozen riced cauliflower, first cook it according to package directions, then let it cool and pat it dry before using.
