Method

  1. Heat half the butter in a wide pan then soften the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and rice then cook for 2 minutes more. Splash in the wine and stir until it has almost all evaporated.
  2. Stir in a third of the stock. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until absorbed into the rice. Repeat twice, adding the cauliflower with the second addition of stock, cooking until the rice is creamy and cauliflower tender.
  3. Stir in 75g of the cheese and the remaining butter, then cover the pan and let the risotto sit for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, mix the parsley, capers and 4 tbsp oil with 1 tbsp water and some black pepper. Serve the risotto with more cheese, and a drizzle of the herby dressing.

    Perhaps "Scrummy" is not a lover of cauliflower, but when I saw this recipe today I thought it looked nice. I'm going to make it tonight and I'll let you know what I think tomorrow.

    I am always on the look out for cauliflower recipes that are not cauliflower cheese and tried a cauliflower risotto before and it was bland sludge, however, undefeated I thought I would give this one a go and am pleased that I did - it was really good and the capers and parsley gave it the tart edge it needed. One to do again and if you are unsure, I would recommend that you take a chance.....

    Had a cauli going spare and just for a change from cauli cheese spotted this. Easy to prepare- easy to cook and the herby dressing was gorgeous. In the words of my wife Polly - That is the tastiest risotto I have ever tasted. So thumbs up for this one and will definitely have it again. Would have no problems making this for friends.

    This is gorgeous; I use sage instead of parsley. This dish is a new favourite in our house. It's nice as a pilaff too, with basmati rice if you haven't got any risotto rice in the house :)
