Notes

To elevate the flavors and create a balanced meal, consider pairing it with fresh salad greens tossed in a zesty vinaigrette. The crispiness of the salad complements the creamy risotto perfectly. Alternatively, serve it alongside a medley of lightly steamed vegetables like carrots, broccoli, and green beans for a nutritious and wholesome meal.
