Mushroom Cauliflower Risotto Recipe: Low-Carb Twist on the Classic Creamy Dish

We’ll have a soft spot for creamy dishes — and this Mushroom Cauliflower Risotto fits the bill. This dish puts a spin on traditional risotto as it uses cauliflower rice instead of a short grain variety called arborio rice. Not only does this swap reduce the dish’s carb content, but it ensures it’s just as filling. Other ingredients such as shredded fontina cheese and chicken broth help the risotto develop a velvety consistency. Additionally, this risotto is topped with garlic-infused satuéed mushrooms for an earthy kick.

You can easily rice the head of cauliflower by chopping it into florets and pulsing it in a food processor. However, for speedier prep, opt for store-bought riced cauliflower. The risotto is tasty topped with hearty meat or veggies to make it a complete meal. What do you plan on enjoying this rice dish with after making it?
