Risotto alle fragole

Risotto alle fragole is a popular Italian risotto with contrasting, sweet and savory flavors coming from the unlikely pairing of strawberries and rice. Other ingredients include onions, carrots, butter, white wine, and grated cheese. This risotto is best prepared in spring, when the strawberries are as fresh as they can be.

It is recommended to garnish the plate with sliced strawberries, and many cooks like to add an extra touch of class by drizzling some balsamic vinegar from Modena on the rice.
