Here I show you my vegetable risotto recipe.

You can prepare the risotto with vegetables all year round in different variations.

Today I have refined the risotto with bear’s garlic.

Wild garlic is available from the middle of March until the beginning of May.

Harvest the bear’s garlic before the blossom, bear’s garlic smells softly of garlic.

If you want to be sure, buy the wild herb at the market or supermarket.

Vegetable risotto is generally vegetarian and if you need a vegan variety, you can replace the pecorino or parmesan with freshly roasted and finely grated almonds.

This tastes great and makes everyone happy.

Discover here all tips for your perfect vegetable risotto.

Let yourself be inspired to cook for yourself, cook a great dish for your loved ones.

Good luck!
