Risotto is such a comforting meal. As someone who no longer indulges in pasta due to being gluten-free, this is the next best thing! The trick to a good risotto is taking it slow and ensuring you don't try to rush the process. You also want to ensure that the liquid isn't added all at once and that you don't overcook or undercook it. Take your time, taste along the way, and I promise you will have a perfect risotto!


The ingredients in this dish are nothing special, but they truly go together so well. This is a meal to impress and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
