Roasted Cauliflower And Almond Risotto

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 large shallot, minced
• 1/8th cups sliced or slivered almonds
• 4 -6 sprigs sage, chopped
• 1 cup arborio rice
• 1/4 cup dry white wine, I used a buttery chardonay
• 1/3 cup vegan or regular parmesan cheese
• 1 splash lemon juice

1. Trim cauliflower; cut into bite sized florets. In large bowl, toss together cauliflower, garlic, 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the oil and 1/4 tsp of the salt. Roast on baking sheet in 400u0b0F (200u0b0C) oven for 20 minutes.
2. After 20 minutes, add the almonds and chopped sage to the cauliflower in the oven. Roast for another 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Remove from oven and mash garlic cloves with a fork.
3. While cauliflower mix is roasting, heat broth plus 1 cup water to boil. Keep simmering.
4. In a large saute pan, add remaining oil over medium heat. Add shallots and remaining salt and saute about 3 minutes or until brown. Add rice.
5. Toast the rice until is becomes opaque. Add wine and stir until it is fully absorbed.
6. 1/2 cup at a time, add broth to the rice. Stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed and then repeat. Continue this process (about 20 minutes) until the rice is tender but not mushy.
7. Once rice is cooked, add parmesan and cauliflower mixture. Stir to blend. Squeeze lemon overtop and serve.
