Simple Homemade Risotto with Strawberries Ingredients
WHITE RICE FOR RISOTTO
I usually use Carnaroli’s Rice, an Italian medium grain rice, grown in the north of Italy, perfect for making Risotto as it is high in starch and keep its shape during the slow cooking process. I make sure I always have it on my cupboard, so I can make any kind of Risotto when I’m short on ingredients or inspiration.
STRAWBERRIES
The best time to use Strawberries is when are in season. Try to buy them from your local fresh food producer. If they are Organic, they will have extra flavor and are super healthy.
VEGETABLE BROTH
I like to make my own vegetable broth; I never use stock powder or cubes.
I simply add 1 onion, 1 garlic clove, 2 carrots and 2 celery sticks in a pot with 1,5 liters of water, add herbs of your choice. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 1 hour. Pass through a sieve and you are ready to go! You can keep your broth in the refrigerator for a week or freeze it for future use.

Notes
- In case you don't have any Strawberries available, Blueberries will work fantastic to (DIVINE). In the Italian cuisine Risotto with fruit are very popular. I love also Risotto with Pears and walnuts or fresh figs.
- Risotto can be made with any vegetable you like. So have a go, be creative.
- Use fresh herbs to garnish for extra flavor and smell. Fresh Mint or Basil will work fantastic.
