Meatless Monday

Hello all!  It's that time again, the one day that we don't have to eat meat!!  That's right, it's Meatless Monday!! woohooo!  hehe.


Here is what's on the menu for this week, from my Food Network Magazine:


Roasted Cauliflower Risotto


1 head of califlower, florets cut into small pieces, stems chopped
3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
Onion or Onion Powder (I don't like onions, so i go for the powder)
1 1/2c of rice
1 clove of garlic
1/2 c of white wine 
3 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 ounces Fontina cheese, grated (1 1/2c)


1.  Prehead oven to 475.  Toss cauliflower florets with 1 tbsp of olive oil on an aluminum foil covered baking sheet (this just helps with clean-up) and arrange in a single layer.  Bake for 20 minutes.
2.  Heat remaining olive oil over high heat in an oven safe pot.  Add the cauliflower stems and onion or onion powder and cook, stirring, for about 3 min.  Add the garlic and rice, stirring, 2 minutes.  Add the broth and 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt, cover and bring to a boil.  Cook for about 15 minutes over medium heat.
3.  Add butter and fontina cheese stirring until risotto is creamy, 1-2 minutes.  To serve, scoop into bowl and top with roasted cauliflower.
