Description

This creamy bell pepper risotto is a dish that I often prepare during the summer, when bell peppers are at their best. The sweetness of red bell peppers blends perfectly with the creaminess of the risotto, creating an explosion of flavors. It is a vegetarian, colorful and perfect dish for a family lunch or dinner. The preparation is simple and quick, thanks to the help of the Thermomix®. A tip? Add a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor. It prepares in about 45 minutes and is ideal for those looking for a tasty and light dish.
