BROCCOLI PARMESAN RISOTTO | The perfect risotto recipe!

This broccoli parmesan risotto turns an Italian comfort food classic into a rich and creamy veggie delight that's layered with broccoli rice, fresh parmesan cheese, and parsley. I love to enjoy a bowl of this with extra cheese on top, and it's also a family favorite for holiday dinners.

This risotto recipe is cozy and comforting, and I love that it's extremely adaptable to any flavor you throw at it. Of course, being someone who loves to sneak veggies into everything, I had to give it a try with some broccoli! And who doesn't love a broccoli parmesan combination? One test bite and I knew this would become a fall and winter side dish staple alongside filet mignon, prime rib, shrimp scampi, and so much more, though it can also hold it's own as a vegetarian main course.

Looks fabulous! Will be making it for the 1st time so I enjoy the way you explained & showed the process ❤🍷

OK new kitchen!!!! Can't wait to try this 😋

[debragifford]

So I was in Ireland when this recipe came through. I did not have time to watch it immediately. However, one night in a restaurant the risotto special was beetroot risotto ( USA residents would just say beet risotto). It was absolutely delicious with feta cheese (montrachet cheese would be great as well). So I will certainly try your recipe with broccoli but will also try reworking it to make beet risotto. Thank you so much!!!

I made this recipe for dinner last night - it was delicious! Thank you!

[Ranagredly]

Thank you for your amazing videos and recipes, can you please link your garlic masher?❤

[babettevandenberg]

They both sound delicious 😋. But first I am gonna make this one 🥦❤

[maryreilly]

Lisa that looks delicious, but where did you get your spoons from they look great are they good for cooking with?

[fernandom]

I'm not a fan of risotto but this recipe deserves a second chance. 😊 looks delicious.

[pauloszetarinielli]

Comfort food that is nutrition rich, broccoli 🥦 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[jonjohnvin]

That is a must-have food processor !I wonder if a red onion would work for this sweet side dish. Also instead of Parmigiano, I am sure a good pecorino romano would do the trick.

[mariavargas]

Buenos días hermosa eso se ve delicioso 😋 lo prepararé sin duda bendiciones ❤🙏🏼

[reneeredding]

I will try this soon. I like mushroom risotto, and lemon asparagus risotto. I use white wine in your Tuscan Chicken recipe.

[OrangeCrushCo]

Love a mushroom risotto! Feels a bit more filling and hearty. Will definitely try this version though. :)
