Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

4 cups chicken broth (or bone broth for extra flavor)
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 medium shallots, diced
4 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
½ cup dry white wine (optional, but adds amazing depth!)
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Get That Broth Ready
    Heat your chicken broth in a saucepan over low heat—keeping it warm helps everything cook evenly.
      Sauté the Mushrooms
        In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the portobello and white mushrooms and cook until they’re tender and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
          Build the Flavor Base
            In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the shallots until they’re soft and fragrant (about 2 minutes).
              Cauliflower Rice Time!
                Stir in the cauliflower rice and cook for 2-3 minutes. If you’re using wine, pour it in now and let it simmer until mostly evaporated.
                  Simmer & Stir
                    Slowly add the warm broth to the cauliflower rice, about ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently. Let the liquid absorb before adding more. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
                      Make it Creamy
                        Stir in the butter, sautéed mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and chives. Let everything melt together into a rich, creamy risotto-like texture.
                          Season & Serve!
                            Taste and add salt & pepper as needed. Serve it up hot and enjoy your keto-friendly comfort food!
