Notes: It takes around 10-15 minutes for the cauliflower & carrot risotto to cook, but you can turn it off and leave it on the stove while your chicken & veg finish cooking, if necessary.

Any other veg would also suit this recipe. Green beans would be a good sub for the asparagus.

You can just use water instead of chicken stock, but the stock does give the cauliflower more flavour.
