What to do with strawberries? Strawberry risotto
What to do with strawberries? Strawberry risotto can be made in two ways: in the classic recipe, you need to toast the rice, cook it by gradually adding vegetable broth, add strawberry puree and decorate your risotto after whisking the rice with butter and grated cheese.
Or you can try the recipe for strawberry risotto without vegetable broth: in this case, we only need hot water. The strawberries will be added into small pieces, pressing them lightly with a wooden spoon to let the juice flow out. And after whisking the rice, we will decorate the strawberry risotto with fresh strawberries. This is certainly the best way to enjoy the natural strawberry flavour. For a more romantic and sparkling idea for dinner, the risotto champagne and strawberries is certainly an evergreen among the recipes using strawberries, but that’s another story!
