13: Cauliflower Garlic Quinoa

Blurry phone picture.. 
If you are looking for a very in depth main dish - this is not the spot.  But if you have a love for quinoa and cauliflower, look no further.  
I love risotto, but I haven't ever tried making it.  This might be as close as I have ever tried to do.  I saw this recipe for Creamy Cauliflower Garlic Rice, and thought I'd give it a whirl. 


Ingredients:
4 cups of cauliflower 
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups of water
1/2 cup milk
1 cup quinoa
2 tbsp butter
1 cup mozzarella cheese
garlic
S&P

The How To:
In a boiler - heat two cups of water and one cup of quinoa until it starts boiling
Cover and put on low heat for 15 minutes
Set aside
Served with blackened salmon, tomatoes, and argula salad
Bring chicken broth and one cup of water to a boil
Add the cauliflower and let it boil for about 10 minutes
Use a food processor to puree the cauliflower
In a large skillet, melt the butter and garlic
Let the garlic saute for about a minute, until fragrant
Add the pureed cauliflower, and add milk - this should be a creamy mixture
Season with S&P 
Pour over quinoa
Add cheese and stir

This dish is kind of a pain to make, but I thought it was absolutely delicious.  Will is not really into side dishes, but it is Will approved!
