This Instant Pot Butternut Squash Risotto is grain free by using cauliflower rice

Ingredients


3 large head Cauliflower (large; (or 5 cups pre-riced cauliflower))
6 tbsp Ghee (tbsp; (or coconut; for AIP or vegan))
6 medium shallot(s) Shallots (chopped)
12 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
9 cup Butternut squash (cubed or buttercup squash)
2 1/4 tsp Salt (tsp sea; (or more to taste))
3/4 tsp Black pepper (tsp ground; (omit for AIP))
3/4 cup Nutritional yeast
1 1/2 cup Coconut milk, sweetened (full-fat)
4 1/2 cup Bone broth, Organic ((or vegetable broth; water for vegan))
6 tbsp Tapioca starch
6 tbsp Sage, fresh (tbsp fresh; (chopped))

Instructions


  1. Remove the leaves off the cauliflower and cut off the florets from the roots. Use a cheese grater or a food processor with a grater attachment, and grate the cauliflower into the size of rice. 
  2. Set a 6qt  Instant Pot to "Sauté" and let it heat for 5 minutes until it indicates that it's hot. Add ghee or coconut oil and make sure to coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add shallot and garlic and cook stirring for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  4. Add cubed squash, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 8 minutes until the squash is soft on the edges.
  5. Turn off the Instant Pot and stir in cauliflower rice, nutritional yeast, coconut milk, and bone broth.
  6. Seal the lid, make sure the pressure valve is set to close, and set the Instant Pot to "Manual" for 2 minutes.
  7. Once it finishes to a beep, immediately release the pressure valve and open the lid.
  8. Sprinkle tapioca starch evenly over the risotto and stir until thickened. You can drain some of the liquid if there's too much (this depends on how much moisture was in your cauliflower).
  9. Add more salt, if desired, then stir in sage before serving.
