Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 1 1/2 tablespoon Tahini
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Miso paste
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
For the "risotto":
- 1 head of cauliflower washed and trimmed
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut (or olive) oil
- 1 medium leek washed thoroughly and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic peeled and minced
- 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- black pepper optional
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley chopped
Instructions
- Start by making the dressing: Whisk together the tahini, nutritional yeast, miso paste, salt, and vegetable broth in a bowl. Set aside.
- Process the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they are very small, 12- 14 pulses. Preferably the size of rice.
- Heat the oil in a 12 inch non-stick skillet in medium heat. Add the leaks and garlic. Sauté until leeks are tender and beginning to brown.
- Stir in the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-8 minutes.
- When the cauliflower is cooked through, add the quinoa and the dressing. Let it come to a simmer. Cook until the excess liquid is evaporated. Give it a generous stir.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and hemp seeds.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle it with parsley and black pepper.
