Riz Cauliflower

Riz Cauliflower is a delightful low-carb French side dish that captures the essence of traditional risotto but replaces rice with cauliflower for a healthier twist. This creamy and flavorful dish is perfect for pairing with grilled meats or as a standalone vegetarian delight.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams, riced

3. Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
