Broccoli risotto is a creamy, flavorful dish made with Arborio rice, vegetable broth, Parmesan cheese, and broccoli. It is a perfect vegetarian meal that is easy to make and can be enjoyed any time of the year.
To prepare broccoli risotto, first sauté chopped onions and garlic in olive oil until they are translucent. Then add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the oil. Next, add vegetable broth to the rice one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next.
After about 15-20 minutes, the rice should be cooked and creamy. At this point, add chopped broccoli florets to the pan and continue to cook for a few more minutes until the broccoli is tender but still has a bit of crunch.
Finally, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the broccoli risotto hot, garnished with some additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
This dish is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy broccoli, and the creamy risotto texture is sure to satisfy any comfort food cravings.
