Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided (sub avocado oil)
- ½ - ¾ cup sweet yellow onion diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups cauliflower rice homemade cauliflower rice or store-bought
Instructions
- Sauté: Bring a saucepan to a medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Once olive oil is hot, add diced onion and 2 teaspoons garlic to sauté for about 2 minutes. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Add 8 ounces mushrooms and move around the hot pan. Allow them to cook and reduce, approximately 5 minutes.
- Simmer: Add the last tablespoon of olive oil, stirring to coat the ingredients, and then add 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder. Stir to coat. Slowly add ½ cup full fat coconut milk and stir to combine. Then add ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk and ¼ cup vegetable broth; stirring consistently. Add 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves and 1 teaspoon lemon juice and continue stirring.
- Adjust: Taste and add additional salt or pepper, as desired.
- Cauliflower Rice: Stir in 1 ½ cups cauliflower rice and allow to cook 3-5 minutes (longer if desired).
- Serve: Enjoy 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.
