Lidia's Kitchen

Rethink Risotto

Risotto can be the base for so many flavors, and Lidia encourages viewers to get creative! Lidia adds a twist to the average risotto, using oats to make a hearty, nutty risotto that pairs well with butternut squash and sunchokes. Olivia, Lidia's eldest grandchild, calls Lidia to show off her Rice Balls, made from leftover risotto, a skill she and the viewers learned on this very show. Then Lidia creates a Breakfast Risotto. It's a bacon, egg, and cheese...the Lidia way! So remember the "risotto-bilities" are endless!
