This delish dish (see what I did there?) was something I decided to try as a pairing with some scallops that my dad wanted me to cook. Risotto is something that I have been wanting to try for a while, and this seemed like a good opportunity. After doing a bit of research I found a recipe that seemed relatively simple (which was a must, since I know risotto can be a bit tricky) and paired well with the scallop recipe I was trying (see: upcoming Baked Scallops recipe) so I decided to give it a whirl! I was not disappointed.

This was really great. My dad said more than once that he quite liked it and hoped the leftovers would keep well. I only give it a 3.5/5 on taste because it was a LITTLE gummy (which is a common risotto problem) but that really was just operator error I’m sure. With practice on my part it will easily be a 4.5/5 I think. The taste itself is definitely a win.
Suggestions / Changes
The recipe was great, I didn’t venture away from that. Really the only thing that I will do differently in the future is a bit more research beforehand on how to keep it from getting gummy. I might try a higher quality risotto rice as well! The one I used is very common (and really it’s fine), it’s just also more likely to gum up. Yum!
