Wonderful Cauliflower Risotto with Coconut Milk
If you are wanting to increase your vegetable intake, cut out carbs, or if you are just interested in trying something new, this cauliflower risotto is perfect for you!
Why cauliflower risotto?
Although it will never replace a traditional risotto, cauliflower risotto is a lighter, healthier version and it is less delicate to prepare.
You can easily make cauliflower rice at home but nowadays it is also premade and available at supermarkets. Using prepared cauliflower rice means this dish is even quicker to assemble.
Today we keep it as a full vegetarian option but it can easily be served as a side dish with grilled chicken or other proteins.
