Strawberry Risotto
Strawberry Risotto is a creamy rice dish made with arborio rice slowly cooked in vegetable broth and white wine, then finished with fresh strawberries, butter, Parmesan, and a touch of balsamic vinegar. The ripe strawberries add a subtle sweetness and fresh fruit flavor that contrasts with the savory cheese and rich texture, resulting in a uniquely balanced risotto.
