caramelized onion risotto.

I used to make risotto all the time when I lived in Italy - it's relatively easy and super filling. Today, I decided that caramelized onion would be fantastic in it.

I caramelized-ish the onion and then added the risotto, cooking it in my usual manner. In a separate pot I sauteed leeks, broccoli and mushrooms (I kind of like them now...). Once the risotto was done, I just put the veggies on top. It was really pretty simple to make, but it tasted pretty good. The risotto definitely tasted heartier. I wish I had caramelized the onions just a little more though, too add some more sweetness to the dish.



My friend Ariel totally appreciated the meal after her long day at the studio. x
