Risotto rice is fast to make which makes this side dish a handy recipe to have on hand. Besides that, it's filling and delicious! You may even want to serve it as a lunch dish or even for a vegetarian main dish. To make it more appealing as a main dish, I sprinkle a good handful of toasted slivered almonds on top for a bit of crunch. Include some crusty bread and I don't think anyone will complain.
