Cauliflower & Carrot Risotto With Chicken & Mushrooms

  1. - Dice onion and brown in a large saucepan.
  2. - While that's cooking, chop up your chicken into bite sized pieces.
  3. - Brown the chicken in a little oil in a separate fry pan. (mine takes 2 batches).
  4. - Chop the cauliflower into large chunks and process in a food processor until the size of rice.
  5. - Take cauliflower out of the processor and put into a bowl.
  6. - Peel carrots and chop in the food processor until the size of rice.
  7. - Put the chopped cauliflower, carrots and the chicken stock into the large saucepan with the browned onions. Put on the lid and a medium/high heat until stock boils. Then turn heat to low/medium and leave to simmer as you cook the chicken.
  8. - As the chicken cooks, place it in a bowl with a lid to keep warm.
  9. - When all the chicken is cooked, stir fry the asparagus and mushrooms in the pan until done to your liking. Throw in the spinach leaves and oregano for the last couple of minutes.
  10. - When everything is cooked, toss the chicken and veggies through the cauliflower & carrot mix. Season with salt & pepper.
  11. - A squeeze of lemon on top is nice, too.
  12. - Serve.
  13. Notes: It takes around 10-15 minutes for the cauliflower & carrot risotto to cook, but you can turn it off and leave it on the stove while your chicken & veg finish cooking, if necessary.
  14. Any other veg would also suit this recipe. Green beans would be a good sub for the asparagus.
  15. You can just use water instead of chicken stock, but the stock does give the cauliflower more flavour.
