Market day so fresh (white) asparagus. I bought the cheap broken ones ideally for a risotto and soup. If you want it veggie Just dont put in the bacon.

Delicious with great presentation. I absolutely love this rice. Goes great with almost anything.

This is my favorite vegetarian risotto. The peas add color, sweetness, and protein. But it’s fine without peas, too.#GlobalApron #dinner #meal

Beautiful, light risotto made with saffron and homemade chicken stock.

Risotto is one of those basic dishes that is great to have in your back pocket for quick dinners, and using up leftovers. Once you have the basic technique mastered, you can make it as fancy or as casual as you like.TIPS: The basic ratio for risotto is 1 part uncooked rice to 3.5 parts liquid. This will include your stock, wine and any additional liquid you are using. Keep an additional 0.5 parts liquid in reserve, as various rices absorb slightly different amounts of liquid.Most risotto recipes call for wine and stock as the liquid, but you can also make "stock" on the fly with dried mushrooms and aromatics such as carrots and celery, added at the beginning of the process with the onions.A little fat added at the end in the form of butter and/or a bit of grated hard cheese will really help give a creamy finish to your risotto.

So I know risottos can seem really complicated and scary.. But they really aren't :) you do have to have a little bit of time to make it but it serves as a beautiful side dish that is sure to impress. 💁

My company holds a weekly department meeting every Wednesday, and at those meetings there's usually a non-business related roundtable to break the ice. Today's starter topic was favourite foods, which is always a guaranteed hit. Anyway, one of my colleagues named risotto as her top dish, which got me thinking that it's been ages since I cooked up a batch, and I should probably get back to it. Since steak was already on the menu for dinner, I thought mushrooms and spinach would be the perfect accents to feature. Fortunately, in spite of my lack of practice, the risotto turned out perfect. Creamy, rich, slightly al dente, and full of mushroomy goodness. Squisito.

In northern Italy, risotto has a creamy consistency, enjoyed with a spoon or fork. I use this dish as an accompaniment to Italian cooked meats and chicken. Prepare this while the main course is slowly cooking, since it deserves your full attention.

Risotto with mushrooms is a tasty autumn first course; one of my favorite dishes

This recipe is inspired by my imaginary Italian nonna. It's good she's not real because she'd probably give me heck for adding cream cheese to a seafood risotto.

I had this in Italy as a side dish. I wanted to make it so I came up with this recipe. The risotto that my friend served up at her home was better than anything I've had in restaurants. I arranged the recipe using vegetables and skim milk.Adjust the amount of water used according to the type of rice selected.Use whatever you like or have on hand for the vegetables. There's no salt in the vegetable broth. Recipe by Brandy
