Keto Cauliflower Risotto with Sausage Recipe

Ah, risotto. One of the classic comfort foods that’s, sadly, not-so-paleo … until now.

And the added bonus? It’s also keto!

It turns out with just a few simple swaps, such as cauliflower for the rice, and rich and thick coconut milk for the cream, you can have a very low carb risotto with a flavor reminiscent of “true” rice.

Add in savory mushrooms and smoky turkey sausage, and you’ll have a unique twist on traditional risotto that satisfies as either a side or main dish. 

Another bonus? Cauliflower cooks in ¼ of the time as rice, so you also save time in the kitchen. Voila!
