Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use Arborio rice for the best results. Its high starch content gives the risotto its creamy texture.
• Stir the risotto constantly while adding the broth to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
• Feel free to add other vegetables or proteins to the risotto, such as mushrooms or cooked chicken, to customize the dish to your liking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover risotto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, add a splash of vegetable broth or water to the risotto and heat in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
• Serve the creamy risotto with edamame as a main course with a side salad, or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
