1
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
2
Use a food processor to pulse the chopped cauliflower until it achieves a rice-like texture.

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onions become tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
4
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring frequently, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
5
Pour in the chicken broth and green peas to the skillet and continue to cook for 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender.
6
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
7
Distribute the risotto among serving dishes, and top each with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and the chopped crispy bacon. Serve while warm.
