Risotto is such a rich, decadent food. I mean, super creamy rice – what’s not to love? Well, I don’t love eating a giant bowl of rice. Don’t get me wrong, I eat white rice from time to time, especially if I’ve worked out that day. But a healthier option is definitely subbing cauliflower for the rice. And it actually tastes pretty amazing.

Paleo Leek, Mushroom and Tomato Cauliflower Risotto
This is the perfect easy low-carb alternative to regular risotto! Loaded with healthy mushrooms, leeks and tomatoes and made extra creamy through the addition of coconut cream.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower riced (using food processor or grater)
- 4 large mushrooms sliced
- 1 leek sliced
- 3/4 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup raw & grass-fed cream or coconut cream the thick part at the top
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté. Add the leeks. Once the leeks have softened, add the tomatoes.
- Then add the cauliflower rice. Let it cook until tender but not mushy. Add the cream.
Notes
Button Mushrooms or Portobello work really well here.
