Recipe – Cauliflower Risotto

Recipe – Cauliflower Risotto

Published on 27/06/2020 On Food Tagged as cauliflower, recipe, risotto

Autumn grown cauliflower is abundant at the farm and will continue to grow throughout the winter months. This recipe is comfort food at its best – slow and cathartic to cook, and warming to eat. It is a vegetarian recipe, but bacon, pancetta or ham could easily be added.

Best cooked and eaten with a clean white like Fiano or a light Southern Highland pinot noir.

 

Ingredients

1 brown onion diced

Head of cauliflower (chopped)

6 cups of chicken stock

1 cup of arborio or carnaroli rice

Fresh thyme

100gms of taleggio cheese (or if not available brie or camembert can be substituted

Butter

1 cup of white wine

Good handful of grated parmesan

 

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180c
  2. 15 mins before you start the risotto, toss half the cauliflower in olive oil and salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 mins. The cauliflower should be brown but not burnt.
  3. Gently fry the onions and thyme in some olive oil and a good knob of butter.
  4. When onions are translucent add rice and other half of the chopped cauliflower. Stir for 2 – 3 mins to coat.
  5. Add wine and simmer for until reduced by half.
  6. Add stock, a ladle at a time, stirring until stock is absorbed. Slow and steady at this stage with a glass of wine in one hand and wooden sppon in the next.
  7. Continue with remaining stock until rice is al’dente and stock is absorbed (this will take 20-25 minutes).
  8. The finishing touch is to turn off the heat – put the chopped taleggio cheese, parmesan and a knob of butter ontop of the risotto and put a lid on.
  9. Let is set for 5 mins and then stir the melted butter and cheese through the risotto as well as the roasted cauliflower before serving.
