Risotto with arugula
This recipe pays homage to fresh and flavorful arugula and will delight you with its vibrant array of flavors.
Arugula, also known as rocket or romaine lettuce, is a leafy green vegetable prized in many cuisines around the world for its slightly pungent flavor and delicate texture. This vitamin-rich plant is not only delicious, but also extremely healthy. It is an excellent source of vitamins A and K, as well as minerals such as calcium and iron.
What makes arugula special is its spicy flavor, which gives risotto a unique character. When arugula is made into pesto, it creates a sauce that enlivens risotto with freshness and a pleasant spiciness.
