Spring Risotto
Spring Risotto is a vibrant and fresh dish that highlights the flavors of seasonal spring vegetables. This creamy risotto typically features ingredients like asparagus, peas, spinach, and fresh herbs such as mint or basil. The risotto is made using Arborio rice, which is slowly cooked in a flavorful vegetable or chicken broth, allowing it to become rich and creamy. The spring vegetables are usually added towards the end of cooking to retain their bright colors and crisp textures. The dish is often finished with a touch of lemon zest or juice to enhance its freshness, and sometimes a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added richness. Spring Risotto is a perfect way to celebrate the season with a light and delicious meal.
