Rethink Risotto

Season 10 Episode 1010 | 26m 46s | CC

Risotto can be the base for so many flavors, and Lidia encourages viewers to get creative! Lidia adds a twist to the average risotto using oats, butternut squash & sunchokes. Lidia’s granddaughter, Olivia, calls to show off her Rice Balls made from leftover risotto. Then Lidia creates a bacon, egg & cheese Breakfast Risotto. Remember the “risotto-bilities” are endless!
