Risotto with Brie and Almonds
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower chopped
- 1/4 cup organic veggie broth (or chicken broth or beef broth)
- 3 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- 3 sprigs fresh Thyme plus 1 tsp leaves
- 5 ounces brie cheese rind discarded, cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup Slivered almonds toasted
- 6 large eggs poached (OPTIONAL- omit for egg free)
Instructions
- Place the cauliflower heads into a food processor and pulse into small pieces of ‘rice.’
- Heat butter or oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté cauliflower with 1/4 teaspoon salt until crisp-tender and golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add thyme leaves and sauté 1 minute. Add broth and briskly simmer, stirring, until broth has been absorbed. Stir in Brie, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with almonds and poached egg if desired.
