Rice risotto is a creamy Italian dish made by cooking short-grain rice, such as Arborio, in broth with aromatics like onion, garlic, and white wine. This slow-cooking process allows the rice to release its natural starches, creating a rich, velvety texture. Common variations include the addition of vegetables, seafood, poultry, or Parmesan cheese for added flavor and nutrients. While risotto offers a good source of carbohydrates for energy and can include fiber-rich vegetables or lean protein, it may also be high in saturated fat and sodium depending on the recipe. When prepared mindfully, using low-sodium broth and minimal butter or cheese, it can be a satisfying, balanced dish suitable for a variety of diets. Often enjoyed as a comforting meal, risotto reflects the tradition and flavors of Italian cuisine while allowing for creative adaptations.
