Instructions

  1. Palette Preparation: In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. SautΓ© onions and garlic until they are soft and fragrant, setting the stage for our risotto canvas.

  2. Rice Rehearsal: Stir in the Arborio rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the oil. When the rice becomes slightly translucent, pour in the white wine, letting it sizzle and absorb into the rice, adding depth to our flavor composition.

  3. Symphony of Stock: Begin the risotto’s melody by adding warm vegetable stock one ladle at a time. With each addition, stir gently, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid and swell, creating a creamy and tender texture.

  4. Vegetable Variations: Halfway through cooking, introduce the red, yellow, green, orange, and purple vegetables, along with the optional blue potatoes. As they meld with the rice, they’ll release their vibrant hues and fresh flavors, turning our dish into a rainbow of delight.

  5. Crescendo of Cheese: Once the risotto is al dente, stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, balancing the flavors to achieve a harmonious finish.

  6. Encore of Elegance: Serve the risotto garnished with fresh basil leaves and edible flowers, adding an elegant flair and a pop of color that makes the dish as beautiful as it is delicious.
