would you serve anything with risotto?

[lucysmam]

I never usually do. But wondered if anyone does, and if so, what? Seems to me like a meal in one if that makes sense?

Salad. Perhaps some nice bread.

no, never

can't think of anything a proper risotto would go with actually

No, even "bottomless pit" DH only ever has risotto, no need imo

Garlic bread sometimes but it doesn't need anything iyswim

Crusty bread.

Sometimes some ciabatta, sometimes salad.

I wouldn't serve bread-too many carbs.
A nice rocket salad and white wine ,or a green veg like green beans or asparagus
Mmmmmmmm

Yes we always have something with it. I love risotto but by itself is just a plateful of the same-tasting stuff mouthful after mouthful IYSWIM.

It depends on the risotto, If its just a veggie one I serve a smaller portion with a chicken breast and some salad as DH needs his meat, but if ts a meat and veg one then no just as it comes.

Green veg?

not usually. Sometimes garlic bread, but do agree that it is carbs overload really.

green beans.or salad.

No. If we were having friends over I might get some rocket salad in, but that would be it.

I like mushroom risotto with roast chicken. Yum. A tomato risotto works woith grilled fish.

I don't but I know Nigel Slater suggests a salad

tomato risotto sounds interesting, have a recipe somewhere for that I think, may try it over the next few days. Looks like salad then if anything, couldn't do bread as would be too much for me to eat all together & I usually pop a chicken breast in for oh

Thanks everyone

Roasted asparagus, or green beans, or a rocket salad with balsamic vinegar and red onions. I always think it needs something a bit crispy to give it some contrast.

Roasted asparagus sounds tasty. May have a look for some asparagus in town tomorrow

some big juicy rooM temperature vine tomatoes, sliced into chucks

I'm getting a 'simple is best' vibe here!
