What Will You Need to Make this Low Carb Cauliflower Recipe?

• Butter - Of Course you can replace butter with canola oil or any other healthy oil. But, I would suggest you not to use Olive Oil for that distinct taste.
• Onions - I have used red onions. Feel Free to use Yellow Onions or White Onions. Onions bring a beautiful sweetness to the risotto recipe.
• Garlic - I love garlic. If you've been making my recipes, you might know that I have a strong inclination towards Garlic. Garlic is so good. It brings that kick to your ordinary recipes.
• Riced Cauliflower - I would advise you to stick to fresh cauliflower rice. Please do not use frozen cauliflower rice for this recipe.
• Heavy Cream - Heavy Cream can also be replaced with whole milk, 1% or 2% milk. You can even replace Heavy Cream with Half and Half. The idea is to bring a little creaminess to the recipe.
• Grated Parmesan: Finally, a risotto is never complete without some Parmesan Cheese. So make sure you use a good quality parmesan cheese. Shred-it and add it to your cauliflower risotto.
• Salt and Pepper: And, there can be no recipe without Salt and Pepper.
• Green peas & Cilantro: Lastly sprinkle green peas and freshly chopped cilantro or parsley over your cauliflower risotto.
