Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, let them cool slightly and then blend in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Simmer

    Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Cauliflower

    Gradually add the vegetable broth, stirring continuously. Then, mix in the blended cauliflower until well combined.

  5. 5

    Finish the Risotto

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until heated through and creamy.

  6. 6
