Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower riced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cauliflower rice, cooking for 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan, cooking until the cauliflower is tender and the mixture is creamy.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Rice the cauliflower fine and uniform - larger chunks won't give you that classic creamy risotto texture. Keto Swap: traditional Arborio rice is replaced with riced cauliflower.
