    Leek and Mushroom Cauliflower Risotto

    I actually had someone ask me if I was tired of eating cauliflower…and I’m not!  I love this stuff because it is so versatile!  I cannot wait to utilize this amazing veggie more.

    I’m channeling my inner Ina Garten with this Cauliflower Risotto.  You guys watch her, right?  I know I’m not the only one obsessed with Food Network personalities like her and my main BFF, Ree.  We could all totally be BFF’s.  Let’s all take a trip to the Merc, then drive down to Waco and meet up with Joanna at the Silos.  Actually, I really just want a cupcake from Joanna’s bakery and some mac and cheese from the Merc.  Oh wait, those aren’t low carb.  Shucks.

    But guess what is low carb guys…this cauliflower risotto!

     

    How would it feel to start losing with keto?

    I love leeks because they have a nice oniony flavor, but not too strong.  If you’ve never cleaned leeks before, here is a good tutorial that I found on the interwebs.  Those are some dirty suckers!  You really want to make sure you get all of that dirt out of there so you don’t have dirt in your risotto!
