My review
Cauliflower "Risotto" with Porcini Mushrooms and Peas
48
Cindy Anschutz Barbieri
"Risotto is a Northern Italian rice dish that is cooked for a long time, stirring often. A traditional risotto is cooked with a warm broth, added slowly, to create a creamy consistency.
I remember my Nana would make a cup of coffee and grab her stool and sit at a stove for an hour while preparing risotto!
As a paleo dish, it takes less time to prepare and the cauliflower gives it a perfect risotto feel."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Pour 2 cups boiling water into a large bowl. Add dried mushrooms; let stand until rehydrated, about 20 minutes. Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and pat dry; chop into smaller pieces. Reserve soaking liquid.
- Pour chicken broth into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cover and keep warm.
- Process cauliflower in a food processor fitted with a shredding disc into grains the size of rice.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add shallot; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add cauliflower rice, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
- Stir 1 cup of warm chicken broth into the pot; simmer until absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, simmering until it is absorbed and cauliflower rice is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir chopped mushrooms, peas, balsamic vinegar, and thyme into the pot. Cook and stir until mushrooms and peas are heated through, about 5 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Save the soaking liquid from the porcini mushrooms, strain it with a coffee filter or cheesecloth, and use it in soups. You can also add a little to your risotto to give it a richer flavor.
- Use 2 small heads cauliflower instead of 1 large if needed. You can use a box grater to prepare the cauliflower instead of a food processor.

This was absolutely amazing! Followed the recipe exactly and we didn't even notice the cauliflower rice...everyone had seconds! So delicious!

This is a lot of work if you do not own a food processor but the outcome is worth it. The one thing I did not like about the recipe is the color the cauliflower turns as soon as you add the vine...
