Though we all like traditional risotto-like - Fire Roasted Tomato Parmesan Risotto or Creamy Mushroom Garlic Risotto there is something that we often tend to ignore. It is the calories. Traditional risotto is brimming with calories. Tomato Parmesan Risotto has got 399 calories per serving whereas Mushroom Garlic risotto has 367 calories per serving.

But this Cauliflower Rice Risotto has just 299 calories per serving. Although one thing should be noted that this is not low in sodium. If you are a heart patient and are looking for a Low Sodium diet with less cheese, then this recipe is not for you.

Low Carb Meal for Picky Eaters:

Have you got picky eaters at home? Then you must try this Low Carb Cauliflower Rice Risotto. Can believe that there is just 7g of total carbohydrate in one serving with just 4g of net carb in this Cauliflower rice risotto recipe. Isn't that amazing? Well, if you are on a low-carb diet and need some low-carb food options then you should definitely try this cauliflower risotto.

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.
