When I was researching recipes for my Strawberry Extravaganza, I knew I wanted to do something a little unexpected. It wasn’t too hard to jump to strawberry risotto.

Strawberry Risotto - The strawberry flavor isn't obvious in this strawberry risotto, aside from the pink color. And it's a good way to use up the less-than-beautiful berries!

The berry flavor isn’t obvious in this strawberry risotto, aside from the pink color. I used vegetable stock instead of the called for chicken, because I wanted to get as much berry flavor as possible, and felt chicken stock would be too overpowering. My toddler loved it, as he does all strawberries and risotto. Because the berries get pulverized, it’s a good way to use up the less-than-beautiful berries.

I paired the strawberry risotto with some lovely grilled asparagus. I adore asparagus, and get pretty excited when it comes back in season. Asparagus is one of those things I feel I’ve wasted so much time not eating! I think I’m doing a good job making up for it, though.

  1. Great idea. We’ve made risotto with apples, and I think the fruit/risotto combo works perfectly. I have to say that the pink color is especially appealing, and strawberries are everywhere right now so your recipe is perfectly seasonal.
