I made this recipe for a Christmas eve dinner and it was the best part of the meal. The taste was great and the color festive since the risotto turned pink and was higlighted by the peas and parsley green in the mix. This is a recipe I will make again, possibly for a romantic or valentine's dinner.
Easy and Wonderful

And that is saying something. Mine didn't turn out as pink as it was supposed to - but it sure tasted yummy and was easy to make. I had never tried risotto before. I had to run to get more ingredients to make a second batch my family loved it so much. I served it with grilled chicken.

I think this is one of my favorite recipes of all time. It's a very relaxing dish to cook because you can sort of mezmerize yourself with the pouring and stirring. I hate peas so I leave those out and we've tried it with all kinds of wines...it's excellent no matter what. I like to cook it when I want to impress guests with minimal work! One note though...it does NOT go well with barbecue!
Yummy!

This was a bit time consuming... and the color was frightful at first, I felt like I was about to eat a purple mushy substance from Nickelodean (hehe) The taste of it was great though, I added a bit more parm when serving it and it made all of the difference. I don't reccomend this for first timers or unexperienced cooks, you have to be quite confident in your cooking skills to want to eat it.

This was my first time making risotto. It was pretty easy to make... just a little high maintenance since you have to keep stirring. Next time I'd probably add a little more flavor whether it be from capers to a different veggie... not sure. I served this with steak and it tasted very good together. It wasn't excellent, but we liked it. I'd make it again but, like I said, I'd probably vary the recipe a little.

This risotto turned out pretty good. It had the exact right consistency and I was impressed that I could make it because I'd always heard that risotto was so hard to make. Not sure that red wine risotto is the best though. I think next time I'll look for a mushroom risotto instead. My husband is not a big fan of risotto but he said that it tasted right.

I'll just call it French Onion Risotto! :P My wife took one look at it and said "that looks like baby food". She said it was delicious and had 3 portions. None was left for the kids :P Next time I will make it with chicken broth maybe, hehe

For some reason I've always been too intimidated to make risotto, but this was a no brainer! I didn't have all the ingredients on hand, so I instead of pease I added chopped asparagus in at the same time as the onions. It turned out so delicious, I can't say enough good things.

This was my first attempt at risotto and I was a little worried but it turned out great! Kids wouldn't eat it because they won't touch rice but they picked out the peas and ate those. I didn't have any fresh parsley and cheated and used the cheese out of the green can but my husband and I loved this one. I will definitely make it again!

Wasn't too sure how the red wine would work with the color, but it was fine. Don't expect the typical white risotto, though. The flavor more than makes up for the dark color.

This was the first risotto I've ever made or even tasted. The recipe was easy, but a little time consuming. I used Arborio rice. The end result was different in color than food normally eaten (purple & green), but was surprisingly full of flavor. It came super creamy, but had a little "bite" to it...I was expecting the rice to be super soft. Is it normal for the rice to have a bit of a bite? Served it w/ steaks...went great together.

I am just learning to cook, and I was able to make this recipe easily. One comment: I learned via eating this dish that I'm not a big fan of parsley... the parsley taste came through very strongly in this recipe.

After watching Giada make this and stating that it's not hard you just have to commit to 25-minutes or so of stirring I decided to give it a go, however I was snowed in and didn't have red wine, so I made the Dirty Risoto in "Family Dinners." I also had to use sushi rice, which is also medium grain - it was unbelievable. I will definitely make this again and often.
