Cauliflower low-carb risotto with spinach and goat's cheese


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.

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.

I'm not keen on the texture of the rice in risotto so it's something I never make.

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.
