I had some fresh fennel and dill at home and I thought that a risotto would make the perfect lunch. However, I tried fennel risottos before and I never really liked the result. It was always too bitter for me. When I visited a family member for lunch the other day, she made some steamed fennel for us. It was so delicious! So I thought I would use that idea and steam the fennel before adding it to the risotto. And because cream always makes everything taste better- I thought why not. Eventually, I decided to use some of the white whine for both the risotto rice and the fennel part. I prepared both parts separately and combined them before serving. But check out the recipe!
