Hello lovelies, today I have a new recipe idea for a simple but delicious dish for you: Fennel risotto with pears. This risotto only requires a few ingredients, but by adding fennel and pears it turns into something special with a refined flavor. Creamy risotto is one of my favorite dishes and luckily I was able to get my family enthusiastic about it too. The preparation certainly takes some time, but stirring a risotto can almost be like a meditation.
What we like about risotto in particular is the fact that it is so convertible. We have tried many different combinations so far. One of my favorite risottos is one with green asparagus, Papa Frei prefers a mushroom risotto. And of course the kids prefer a pink risotto with beetroot. One of the most popular recipes on the blog is this risotto with sweet potato and dried tomatoes, which is delicious indeed. Have you tried it yet?
This time a different combination with mellow fennel and fruity pear. You will see this goes well together. Seasoned with fresh thyme, roasted hazelnuts and you’re quickly transported into food heaven.
A risotto is a dish that can easily manage without any dairy products and therefore can simply be served as a vegan dish. If you like you can serve it with vegan parmesan that you can either buy or make yourself with cashews and yeast flakes. I like it very much and it gives the risotto a „cheesy“ taste.
I hope you will try this delicious risotto with fennel and pears. Especially suitable are sweet but firm pears, e.g. the type “Kaiser Alexander” or “Conférene”. These two are currently seasonally available.
