  • Chicken Broth - 500ml
  • Heavy Cream - 100ml
  • Butter - 30g
  • Shallot - 1, finely chopped
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced
  • Parmesan Cheese - 30g, grated
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black Pepper - to taste
  • Fresh Parsley - for garnish

Steps

  1. In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth over low heat and keep it warm.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.

  6. Once the cauliflower rice is tender and creamy, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Gorgonzola cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
