Talk about healthy! This cauliflower risotto is not only tasty but also very healthy since you eat a meal full of vegetables. I got the idea to make cauliflower risotto because I had quite a bit of cauliflower left over from the cauliflower nuggets I recently made in the airfryer.
Now I've made cauliflower rice before, which was also very tasty, so I thought I could also make a kind of risotto from the cauliflower. And we succeeded.

One of the ingredients is cauliflower rice. Now you can buy it in the store, but making cauliflower rice yourself is a breeze if you have a blender at home. And clearly cheaper than the purchased variant. Just check the link, then you can read exactly how to make it.
First make the cauliflower rice and let it drain well in a sieve. Fry the chicken breast pieces in a pan. In the other pan (I use a wok myself), fry the chopped red onion with the crushed garlic in a little oil.
When the onion is fried, add the chopped mushrooms and bell pepper. Bake this for a while. Add the chili powder and paprika, along with the cumin. Then add the cauliflower rice and stir fry for a while. Then the fried chicken pieces can be added.
Then add the milk and cheese and stir the cauliflower risotto briefly. For example, you can add a little more cheese to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste and you're done.
This cauliflower risotto is really a healthy variant and therefore tastes slightly less creamy than a regular risotto.
Tips Would you like to make the cauliflower risotto even more creamy? For example, use 50-60 grams of mascarpone instead of the milk. It is also nice to add two tablespoons of pesto.
A big advantage of risotto made from cauliflower is that it gives you a good 'full' feeling. You won't be hungry or hungry all night!
