Recipe Steps

steps 4

14 min

  • Step 1

    Combine the cauliflower rice and chicken broth in a wide, shallow pan. Cover with a lid, and heat the ingredients on medium heat to a gentle simmer. Remove the lid, and let the chicken broth and additional moisture reduce almost completely.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Stir in the butter, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic. Keep the heat on medium low, and let the cauliflower soak in the butter and seasonings.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Finally, turn the heat to as low as possible, and stir in the parmesan cheese. This will turn your cauliflower into “risotto” and give it a thick consistency.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    For a traditional serving style, pack the cauliflower risotto into a rounded, small bowl. Then, turn it over onto a dish for serving. Otherwise, enjoy as is, hot!
    Step 4

                        This dish was soooo good. I used green giant river cauliflower with lemon and garlic, but everything else I did exact and this dish is delicious. I paired this with the lemon paprika shrimp recipe and everyone loved it.

                                I used chopped cauliflower and put it in a food processor to make it more rice-like. I added a small amount of cream to it and it came out delicious! Thanks for this recipe. Was a delicious addition to the butter chicken thighs.

                                  Heavy cream?

                                I used real garlic as im not a huge fan of garlic powder and added cream and diced rotisserie chicken. I wasn't inlove with it without the chicken but when you add the chicken its quite tasty.

                                        Added a splash of lemon juice and a drizzle of truffle oil when it was finished for extra umami. Yum!

                                                First time making and it was delicious. Doubled the recipe and we ate as a main dish for dinner.

                                                  I tweaked this recipe a bit to be able to use a whole head of cauliflower at once. Pretty much came out to 3 x recipe except don't triple the stock. Keep it to a scant cup or it won't cook off completely and then you can add a tablespoon or two of cream to give it a richer and creamier texture. Awesome recipe that I will be making again.

                                                    I used the frozen cauliflower. Just had to reduce it down a little longer. Good flavor. I will make this again.

                                                      I thought this tasted good,however the next time I make it I will replace the oregano with fresh basil. The oregano had too strong of a taste for us. Also, I made it with frozen califlower rice which made less then expected from the original recipe. I will double it next time and eat the required serving from CarbManager.

                                                        I’ve made this several times now twice with fresh ground cauliflower rice and once with frozen. When I used frozen the amount of cauliflower used had to be increased to account for the fact that the ice expands the “rice” and when the water cooks out it shrinks. This happens far less with fresh I highly recommend not using frozen if you can avoid it.
