Asparagus And Spring Pea Risotto Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Risotto is one of my favorite comfort food dishes because the base of the dish, italian arborio rice, is naturally gluten-free. The creamy essence of risotto comes from this special type of rice rather than a flour thickening agent creamy, dreamy, comfort food goodness. Arborio rice is a high starch, round short-grain rice. It absorbs liquid and releases starch, creating a natural, thick creaminess. If you cannot find arborio rice, you can substitute either carnaroli rice or white sushi rice to prepare a delicious gluten-free risotto. This risotto features fresh asparagus and spring peas for fresh, seasonal, and subtly sweet flavors. This recipe serves four as a side dish, or two as a hearty main dish. If you desire more protein in this dish, add grilled chicken, sauted shrimp, or seared scallops over top the finished risotto.
