Risotto is a winter comfort food usually loaded with cheese, carbs, and calories. This creamy dish has the flavor and the feel of your favorite savory dish without the heavy bloated feeling afterward.
Plus – by replacing the rice with cauliflower you are adding a serving of veggies with fiber and omega 3 fatty acids. You can even make this vegan or vegetarian but substituting mushrooms for the bacon and vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
Paleo. Gluten Free. Keto friendly. Vegan if you omit the bacon.
