I've never eaten risotto before and have always been intimidated at the thought of making it.Plus, most recipes are pretty fattening. This was a breeze to make. I added some chopped mushroom while the onions cooked and used veggie broth. I have to admit, I kind of wish I would have added more cheese, but it was yummy as is. I agree with other reviewers that you could mix up the veggies with great success. Thanks for posting the recipe.Reply

Chia, this recipe was delicious! Although I did make just a few changes to use ingredients I had on hand. I replaced the spinach with collard greens and added 2 minced cloves of garlic to the onion sautee to add to the flavor of the collards. I also replaced the chicken broth with vegetable broth. The flavor was terrific!! We are looking forward to having this recipe again!1Reply
