Risotto is one of those meals. One of those meals. The kind you just can’t go wrong with. Comforting, cosy, satisfying, and rich. A good risotto is a wonderful thing. What’s more, risotto rice is naturally gluten free, so it makes a great home-cooking option for those following a gluten-free lifestyle. (Quick note: whilst risotto is almost always gluten free, it’s worth double-checking if you’re ordering it in a restaurant, as gluten can sometimes creep into the recipe. Take a look at this helpful article for more details.)
