2016-01-02: Today I tried this recipe for the first time. I will make it again. It's probably a mistake to call it risotto because it lacks the super-creamy texture of good risotto. I had never actually had really good risotto until last week, eating at Edible Canada on Granville Island in Vancouver. My niece had ordered a risotto dish, and it was awesome.
I dislike the "2 cups of cauliflower" direction. How much is that? Hard to say. I guesstimated and then weighed the result, which was 8 3/8 ounces. It was probably a touch too much. Nonetheless, the recipe turned out well tastewise. And I used chicken stock. Who the hell wants vegetarian bouillon?
