I love experimenting with different kinds of food. I make vegan recipes even though I’m not vegan, I make gluten-free recipes even though I’m not gluten-free, and I make low-carb recipes even though I bloomin’ love pasta. Why not? It’s a fun challenge, and I love all kinds of food (perhaps a bit too much).
You might know about my obsession with using cauliflower to make tasty low-carb versions of my favourite carby dishes (I know – me and every other person on the internet), and one recipe I hadn’t attempted yet was a low-carb risotto. It seems totally counter-intuitive, but if I can make a successful low-carb fried rice, why not risotto!
Of course, this isn’t a real risotto by any stretch of the imagination. There’s no rice……
