Riz de Chou-Fleur

Riz de Chou-Fleur is a delightful French side dish that mimics the texture and flavor of rice using cauliflower. This creamy and buttery dish is perfect for those on a keto diet, providing a satisfying and low-carb alternative to traditional rice.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 400 grams
• Butter - 30 grams
• Heavy cream - 60 ml
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Shallot - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them for about 10 minutes until tender.
2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove the steamed cauliflower from the steamer and transfer it to a food processor. Add the sautéed garlic and shallot mixture, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
