Beer and Cheddar Cheese Risotto
This recipe came from my hankering for saffron risotto and not having all the usual ingredients! I didn’t have white wine – but I did have beer. I ran out of parmesan cheese – but I did have cheddar. Chicken broth? No, but I did have vegetable broth. This is when I came up with Beer and Cheddar Cheese Risotto!
My first try I used Corona beer, it was good, but I thought it could be better. Next time I tried this dish as an appetizer (pictured) with a pale ale. It was really good, but my good friend and beer connoisseur, Iva, recommend Nut Brown Ale or a Stout. Well I couldn’t find the stout, but the Nut Brown Ale hit the spot. Side note: it’s actually become my favorite to drink too!
This is a great side dish or appetizer with some pita chips. Enjoy! – Betty
