Ingredients

• Cauliflower rice - 400 grams
• Radicchio - 150 grams, chopped
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat to keep it warm.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and chopped radicchio to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the radicchio has wilted.
4. Stir in the cauliflower rice and mix well with the onion and radicchio. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the cauliflower rice is tender and creamy, about 15-20 minutes.
6. Once the risotto is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
