A note about serious food allergies

Risotto is one of the greatest gifts Italian cuisine has given us. It is rich, hearty, stick-to-your-ribs comfort in a bowl. But traditional risotto is not the greatest gift we can give to our waistlines. Enjoy a warm bowl of this creamy cauliflower "risotto" and marvel at the fact that it's low-carb and low-calorie. Grating cauliflower florets to look like grains of rice, and then cooking in milk until they're creamy and tender, will give you all the satisfaction of the real stuff with none of the carbs.

Recipe Steps

You Will Need

  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 Box Grater
  • 1 Medium Pan

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Thoroughly rinse all produce and pat dry. Peel and mince shallot. Zest lemon and cut in half. Julienne sundried tomato (cut into matchstick-like sticks).

  2. 2

    Make the Cauliflower "Rice"

    Grate cauliflower florets on the large hole side of a box grater to make the "rice grains." If you have one, a food processor with a grater attachment is also an excellent tool for this task. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Start the Risotto

    Heat 1 tsp. of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook for 1 minute until it just begins to turn translucent. Add cauliflower "rice" and cook for 1 more minute. Season with a pinch of salt. Add evaporated milk, bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook until the liquid reduces by half and the mixture takes on the look of creamy risotto, about 12-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Risotto

    Add sliced sun-dried tomatoes and peas. Stir to combine and cook 3 more minutes until everything is heated through. Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon zest, half the shaved Parmesan, and arugula, reserving a few leaves for garnish. The residual heat will wilt arugula without over-cooking it.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Spoon the "risotto" into a shallow bowl. Garnish with reserved arugula, zest, and remaining parmesan cheese.
