Delicious, dairy free, strawberry Risotto
In 2012, I visited Lake Garda, Italy with my family. One evening, we dined at a beautiful lakeside restaurant, serving all the local specialties. As I spent the week eating pasta’s and pizza’s, I decided I would try something different, and ordered what turned out to be a beautiful prawn and strawberry risotto.
I decided to try and recreate a healthier option, and I am pleased to share with you that I managed to cook a tasty vegan risotto recipe. Being a dairy free risotto, this dish is low in fat and is a great comfort food. Although this recipe looks and sounds like a dessert, it is very much a savory dish, and is relatively simple to cook.
