"risotto cauliflower rice"

Welcome to my risotto inspired one pot cauliflower rice recipe.

Many people quit rice for cauliflower rice because they don’t like gluten or because they want to reduce their carbs for a healthier option. I did it for love. You see Dominic has always hated the taste of rice. The only way you are going to get real rice into Dominic is if it is a rice pudding and it is pudding rice. And that is it.

So imagine me worshipping in paella, risotto, curry and rice and all other kinds of recipes. Therefore I have created recipes that don’t involve rice and it has been hard replacing them, though when we would eat out, I would probably go for the rice option.

Fast forward several years and I discovered cauliflower rice and I suddenly had rice back on the menu again. We could have curry and rice, loads of risotto and best of all it is so much healthier.

So we win on all counts.

One thing I do love when doing cauliflower rice is that you can make it a lot less dry by turning it into a delicious risotto. I use loads of tomatoes when I do this and it makes a lovely meal. We often add loads of vegetables and it fills us up for hours and hours.

  3. Add your tinned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes and seasoning and mix well. Cook on a high heat for 5 minutes and then reduce the heat for a further 5 minutes so that it can reduce the juices.
