Risotto or as we write it in Farsi: ریزوتو – ریسوتو – رسوتو is a kind of Italian rice dish. The type of rice in making Rissoto is a sort of short-grain. Most common rice in making Rissotto are: Carnaroli, Aroborio, Vialone, … . This kind of rice with high starch content cause a sticky rice.
In my previous posts I have shared my pumpkin risotto and Venison sausages risotto. Today I cooked Leek and bacon risotto with Gorgonzola cheese.
