I have had this fusion risotto running through my mind for quite a while now. Yesterday I had all the ingredients I needed, so “hey presto!” it was created, made and devoured very fast.
A Mexican base with sweet, earthy notes of red pepper and a sour lift from the lime. Only then to top it off with some Feta cheese, for that Greek influence.
Oh my friends…you have to try this and tell me how it goes..Have a wonderful Wednesday and enjoy. Much love D x
INGREDIENTS
1 red bell pepper diced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1½ cup arborio rice
1 litre vegetable stock
Salt to taste
Juice of half a lime
Feta cheese crumbled
METHOD
● Heat the oil in a large non stick saucepan on a medium heat. Sauté the pepper for a couple of minutes and throw in the rice. Mix and cover each grain in the oil
● Start pouring a ladle of vegetable stock one at a time into the rice mix. Keep stirring on a low to medium heat
● Once the stock is absorbed add another ladle full into the saucepan. Continuously mixing
● This should go on until the rice becomes tender and soft and the risotto creamy
● Season with salt and stir in the lime juice. Serve with a topping of crumbled feta cheese

As always, this looks delicious! How do you think this would be without the feta?
Absolutely fine. You can add…omit to your liking honey x and Thank you x
Dimple, since I posted my Cipriani/Venice Risotto a couple of weeks ago so many blogger friends appeared with their own fav risotto. No doubt, once I am back in Kerala next month I will make yours – I love the tangy ness of lime and that delicious feta cheese. Thanks for posting this. Carina
Aww…You’ve inspired all of us! I love risotto so much…Hope you enjoy Carina x
Super easy and yummy! Red peppers and rice are somehow always my go to, but the lime is a nice touch.

So glad Rakhi…Hope you enjoy it xx
Sounds like a delicious combo of ingredients Dimple! The lime juice must really brighten the flavors. Is that a sprinkling of red pepper flakes on the finished dish? A touch of heat perhaps?
Yes Nancy…You know me 😉 I can’t help myself lol xx Thank you x

Oh we’ve missed your posts. We’re not big fans of risotto also because we don’t know how to cook it right and the ones we have at restaurants are pretty flavourless but yours looks so delicious, Dimple. Love the lime and feta combination here.

i can do with risotto anytime of the year but this one is especially as it’s extremely summery in taste tangy from the pepper hot from the chilli and salty
from the feta!
Enjoy friends!
Much love, D x

Interesting flavor combination. Sounds delish. I do wish that people would not feel so intimidated when it comes to making risotto. It really is quite simple and such wonderful comfort food.
