Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes foamy and fragrant.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and aromatic.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown nicely.
- Once the mushrooms are browned, add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Mix well to combine the cauliflower with the mushroom mixture.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the cauliflower is submerged. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Season the risotto with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed to enhance the flavors.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Keto Mushroom Risotto!
Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider incorporating a splash of white wine before adding the broth.
