Baked Caprese Risotto
- 3 Likes
I’m picky when it comes to risotto. For something so simplistic in its ingredients and preparation, it’s shocking just how many restaurants I’ve been to that have royally messed it up. It’s mushy. They don’t use Arborio rice. It’s so cheesy, the rice sticks together. Some of the infractions are forgivable, I mean, if you put too much cheese in my risotto, I’m not going to complain, but risotto is creamy, not tacky.
