Ingredients

• Cauliflower rice - 400 grams
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 50 grams
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Shallot, finely chopped - 1 medium
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the cauliflower rice and cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly.
4. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. This should take about 15 minutes.

6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
