Notes

  • Ingredient Suggestions:
Ground Meat: ground beef or a mix of ground beef and ground pork will work great for this risotto. Avoid poultry as it's too dry for this type of meal.
Veggies: start with onion, carrot, tomato, corn and peas. Add or subtract as you wish (green and yellow beans, peppers, etc.).Fresh is best, but frozen or canned works too! Avoid cruciferous veggies and leafy greens for this dish.
