Do you love a good risotto, but are you tired of always eating the same flavors? Today we have this great suggestion from Healthybyvero !
Risotto is a dish of Italian origin, with rice as its main ingredient. A specific type of rice is used in its preparation, which when cooked slowly releases its fiber and absorbs the liquids in which it is cooked, creating an extremely creamy and comforting dish, full of flavor.
Here we are already fans of this type of dish, in fact one of our favorites is without a doubt the Shiitake Mushroom and Butternut Squash Risotto !
For today's dish we wanted to bring you a rich and super nutritious dish, which combines peas (rich in protein) and spinach (rich in calcium, magnesium and phosphorus) is a delicious and very nutritious recipe, a spinach and pea risotto!
