This risotto was pure craving I had, and the truth is that it was one of those times when I look at my pantry and refrigerator and say: “let’s see, what should I cook today?”. And that’s how this delicious risotto was made, which by the way can be served as the main course. I also took advantage of having a Chilean salmon waiting to be prepared. The combination was excellent.
In the recipe for risotto, I used gorgonzola cheese, but you can substitute it with blue cheese.
