  • print pdf Recipe, text only: to print or download.
  • At home I always have a supply of vegetables in the freezer, always come back useful to complete or enrich many dishes.
    No obstacle, however, to the use of fresh vegetables!
  • This risotto is also excellent in the vegetarian version, without the chicken.
    In this case I suggest adding, after removing it from the heat, a generous amount of cheese, perhaps mixing together the last pieces of two or three types of cheese.
    Mix well and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
