Carrot and Chive Risotto
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 4-6
Description
Risottos do not always have to be expensive, filled with indulgent ingredients. Sometimes fairly basic ingredients really work well together and result in a beautiful tasting dish. This is one of those dishes. You can swap the carrots for pumpkin or sweet potato if they happen to be cheaper that week.
