Wrap up warm, throw some logs on the fire and cuddle up with a big bowl of Cozy Cauliflower Vegan Risotto! The humble but kick-ass cauliflower does double duty here creating a rice-like texture for this silky vegan risotto, and providing the creaminess for this stellar grain-free dish! A perfect bowl of comfort. I first served this dish years ago at a restaurant I consulted within the lower east side of NYC called Counter. A great little vegan dining spot that focused on small plates and spin-offs of traditional favorites. We served this with some seared sage polenta cakes and fished with chive oil. The risotto on its own has stuck with me for years and is a go-to recipe when I want to feature cauliflower on a menu or a grain-free option. A version of this was then a featured recipe in the Crazy Sexy Cookbook with Kris Carr. Heart-warming, cozy, delicious comfort food. We’re keepin’ it light, but rest assured this will fill your belly and hit all the spots. Hit up that farmers market or grocer for the sexiest cauliflower you can find and have fun with this cauli on cauli feast - enjoy!
