Seasonal Risotto: Wild Mushroom Risotto, Pumpkin Risotto ...

Like pasta, risotto is made with seasonal fresh ingredients. Giuliana shows us many favorites that have become classics all around the year in Italy, including wild mushrooms, pumpkin, asparagus, artichokes, fava beans, summer squash and shellfish. Today she chooses fresh-picked tomatoes, spinach and basil, and explains how to know when your ingredients should be added to the pan.

Once you’ve chosen ingredients, you can go on to sautee the shallots or onions, as we see in the next segment.
