Risot a la Piemontaise ~1844

risotalapiemontaise-1884

A simple delicious risotto! You’ll need five ingredients:

  • Italian rice (arborio)
  • Butter
  • One onion
  • Broth
  • Parmesan

I think of something like a Parmesan risotto as a more modern dish. Nope. Not at all. Folks were enjoying risotto 150 years ago!
