Meant to add that this is the single best dish I've had with the Mircale rice. The group agreed it was a keeper, not just something to do for keto meals.

Fantastic, Lowen! I remember being pretty skeptical of this one, when I tried it. I also remember being thoroughly blown away by how tasty it really was. I'm thrilled to see someone else enjoying it. Yay!!! :-)

Made this today. Fantastic format. I tripled recipe to serve 6 – we had a little left over. It needed more italian herbs. I think double the portobellos by portion and use the cubes; for half of what is bought. I probably did 6x herbs per portion with a mix of fresh italian herbs. I also added better than bouillon beef to enrich the flavor. Also doubled the wine per potion (be sure to use the same wine you are drinking with it Finally, by luck we had grilled italian chicken mushroom sausages which complimented it perfectly. Basically a triple recipe served 7 people as a main. We had an italian salad with it. write lowen.gartner@gmail.com if you have questions or comments.

Hi Deb, I’m sorry for the late response, but I might suggest tracking down something called "Verjus". You can get red verjus. It’s basically unfermented wine grape juice. Wine … without wine! I hope this helps! 🙂

Sounds wonderful, but what could I use in place of the red wine? We don’t drink, and I don’t cook with alcohol. I’ve never attempted traditional risotto, but have enjoyed it pre-LCHF. Thanks for all the amazing recipes! Looking forward to your book 😉

Hi Pattie, I’m actually with you on the miracle rice thing. However, if you wash it, the smell goes away and mixing it with the cauliflower masks the weird texture. The end result is something with additional bulk, but without the negative qualities of the miracle rice. Regarding the book … you must be thinking of someone else. I don’t have a book, just yet. I’m working on one and when it’s out, rest assured … you’ll be able to read it on your iPad. Thanks for your comment! 🙂

Hate that miracle rice. Can’t stand the smell and texture. Tried ordering your books with PDF but could not. Prefer reading on my i pad
