  • Pick the thyme leaves off of the woody stems and add the leaves to the pan.
  • Add the cauliflower rice to the pan and cook on low for about 5 mins until it has softened and the stock has been incorporated. Season well to taste.
  • Split the truffle risotto between two bowls (4 if serving as an appetiser) and shave or slice the truffle very thinly over the top.
  • Drizzle the truffle oil over the top of the dishes and serve.
