Mushroom Cauliflower "Risotto"

Did you know that Australia has just released an updated food pyramid?  I don't want to get into any sort of debate around exactly how the food pyramid should look (because I know plenty of people that would disagree completely with this model) but I do want to say that it is a major improvement on its predecessor. What I am most excited about is that it's now recommended that one eat more vegetables than bread (and there are so many more beautiful greens on there!) I think we can all agree that our diets should be packed with veges.

Before I moved out west I was flatting in a lovely brick villa in Mt Eden that  had a fantastic vegetable store one minutes walk away. It really did mean that we were never lacking our five plus a day, and that we became increasingly creative with vegetables.  This dish is an example that, minus the cheese it doesn't have much else other than vegetables.  It is extremely light so if you are particularly hungry may need a few additions. Take the recipe as a bit of inspiration.  Play with it.  I think it would be a great accompaniment to oven-baked chicken.
