Risotto

Via Carota Chef Tip: Skip the Stock, This Risotto Is Better With Water

The trick makes for a minimalist lemon risotto full of pure citrus flavor.

Risotto al Limone

Vibrant extra-virgin olive oil, instead of butter, adds the finishing touch to this lemon risotto.

Wild Mushroom Risotto

If you can get your hands on fresh wild mushrooms—and these days, it’s not hard—this wild mushroom risotto recipe is the best way to show them off.

Lemony Risotto With Asparagus and Shrimp

Make this shrimp risotto for a weeknight dinner. With bright flavor from lemon zest and fresh asparagus, it’s an ideal meal for spring.

Put Down the Wine—Make Summer Risotto With Pineapple Juice Instead

Basil + pineapple make risotto feel summery and fresh.

Seared Scallops With Basil Risotto

If any risotto could be a summer dish, it’s this one, topped with perfectly caramelized scallops and flavored with fresh basil and pineapple juice.

Risotto With Mushrooms and Thyme

The Italian word for the ideal risotto texture is all’onda—literally, “like a wave.” Risotto should spread and move and undulate. If you can stand a spoon up in it, it needs more liquid.

Creamy Squash Risotto With Toasted Pepitas

Miso and a paprika-packed squash purée makes this dairy-free risotto hearty and satisfying. Double or triple the squash purée, and use it in other meals throughout the week.

Tomato and Parmesan Risotto

Use the smallest tomatoes you can find at the market for this dish. They’ll be extra sweet and have thin skins.

Oven Risotto with Crispy Roasted Mushrooms

Finally, a creamy, buttery risotto without all of the stirring. Just pop it in the oven and roast some mushrooms alongside to top off the finished dish.

The Best Starter Recipes for the Instant Pot

These dishes turn you into a believer.

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto

Making risotto in an electric pressure cooker means no stirring and no ladling of stock one cup at a time. Just get it going on high pressure, walk away, and make a drink.

Creamy Shrimp Risotto With Mascarpone

Risotto feels like restaurant food, but you can absolutely make a great version at home. This risotto gets its deep flavor from freshly made shrimp stock, tomato paste, herbs, and lots of garlic.

Risotto with Caramelized Radicchio

Red wine and bitter lettuce give this low-maintenance risotto a punch of flavor and sophistication.

Cauliflower Risotto

Risotto is an Italian term describing a unique way to cook rice. Basically, the rice is cooked in broth or another liquid until it and the liquid swell to a creamy union. With this version of risotto, I use the same cooking method with cauliflower rice, thereby subtracting the calories and the carbs you'd get from rice.
