This low-carb cauliflower risotto with spinach and French goat's cheese is an excellent choice for a quick and easy lunch. In fact you may even enjoy it for dinner! You'll find that each spoonful is packed with flavour and comforting creaminess ... yum!
Ingredients
Serves Four
1 2⁄3 lbs (750g) cauliflower
1¾ cups (425ml) heavy (double) whipping cream
2 oz. (50g) butter
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
3 oz. (75g) parmesan cheese
Serving
3 oz. (75g) fresh spinach
5 oz. (150g) goat cheese
4 tablespoons pecans
2 tablespoons olive oil
Tip!
Just like with rice, some prefer a softer texture and some like it al dente. Be sure to test the cauliflower mixture frequently and get it off the heat before it becomes too mushy.

Substitutes
Yes, for a vibrantly green dish, try broccoli instead of cauliflower. Pay extra attention to taking it off the heat before it turns into a mash.
Storing the dish
This dish keeps for 2-3 days in the refrigerator and reheats great in the microwave. Perfect for a lunchbox.

Love this dish.
Made it 3 days ago. With shrimp and brown mushrooms. Next time I will try with cauliflower.
Thanks for the wonderful recipes!
I love all of these ingredients. This would be an awesome dish for a summer day!
Yum. And I have a cauliflower asking to be eaten at the moment.
Looks delicious!
My father would mash cauliflower and broccoli together in the same dish. We thought he was crazy when we saw the pale green, lumpy glob. It was good. I suppose he was ahead of his time.
Oh yummy! So many interesting ingredients in this.
Since I've recently discovered cauliflower rice, this sounds like a wonderful way to use it! YUM!
...I enjoy cauliflower.
Cauliflowers are cheap at the moment down here, bought one today :)
Sounds great! Hugs, Valerie
I'm not keen on the texture of the rice in risotto so it's something I never make.
Sounds very yummy again!
Now, that does look delicious....it might just have to be on the menu shortly! :)
Great.
I'm not sure how I missed this, but this is going in my file. I appreciate the tip, too, since I am NOT a big fan of al dente. Thanks for this.
I could eat this right now! So good! Big Hugs!
