Even though I made this months ago, I still cannot get over how uniquely delicious this dish is!

The first time I had ever had risotto was in a tiny local restaurant in Paris and it was blueberry. I thought this might have been a similar recipe, but it ended up tasting less creamy and was also not the light purplish color I remember from the restaurant even after I smashed a few of the berries. This recipe was good but not great. I would continue my search rather than make this again.
