When it comes to warm, hearty winter dishes, risotto might be one of my favorites. D's parents were in town one last night, so we decided to make dinner for the parents and chose this Kale Risotto with Pumpkin Seeds. I add crisp pancetta for a smoky richness and some grated pecarino for an added saltiness. The kale keeps a nice texture and the pumpkin seeds are crunchy and nutty, it's a really great dish. I was intimidated by making risotto after a long-ago attempt, but really, if you commit to the cooking and stirring process, then you'll be fine (I'd suggest keeping a glass of wine nearby to stay hydrated :). This dish has become a new favorite and seems to really impress friends and family.
