    I love this risotto, so simple and yet so tasty. Love to eat it as a side for osso bucco, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Instead, I made Duck with pears, a traditional Catalan recipe that is sooo yummy and it worked wonders with the risotto. The sauce gets these dark colour because you add a 'picada' with garlic, nuts and dark chocolate.... It's a family recipe that I like to make once a year....
