Not every rice really is rice. This recipe, though reminds you of the risotto with its final form, but it is completely free of unnecessary carbohydrates, so your slim figure will certainly not suffer, on the contrary, it will get nutrients and beneficial vitamins.
Cauliflower stimulates digestion and, in addition to vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it also is a great help in the prevention of colorectal cancer. It helps to improve joints and tendons, slows down hair loss, strengthens nails, heals skin inflammations, also boosts the immune system, helps to prevent infections, and, in addition, reduces blood pressure.

Almonds add a hallmark of excellence, taste and necessary nutrients to the meal, while helping to lose weight, protect against diabetes and heart diseases.
