Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided (sub with avocado oil)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup sweet yellow onion, diced

- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- 1 1/2 cups cauliflower rice (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Bring a saucepan to a medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.

- Add mushrooms and move around the hot pan. Allow them to cook and reduce, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the last tablespoon of olive oil, stirring to coat the ingredients, and then add the arrowroot powder. Stir to coat.
- Slowly add the coconut milk and stir to combine. Then add the almond milk and vegetable broth; stirring consistently.
- Add lemon juice and thyme and continue stirring.
- Taste and add additional salt or pepper, as desired.
- Stir in cauliflower rice and allow to cook 3-5 minutes (longer if desired).
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Coconut Milk: be sure to fully combine the coconut milk before use. (to re-combine, pour coconut milk into a wide-mouth mason jar and use an immersion blender to blend).
- Whole30/Paleo: just check the vegetable broth ingredients before use.
- Storage: for best results, use immediately but leftover risotto can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
