Lentil Risotto With Pomegranate Wine

Risotto is one of the famous Italian rice dish. It could be served as Primi or as main course. Risoto is usually accompanied with very pleasant aroma, flavor, and velvety texture. Usualy, risotto is made with dry white wine, but I used Pomegranate wine which gave this risotto a wonderful tangy flavor.


Ingredients:-

• 1-1/2 cups Arborio Rice
  
• 6 cups Vegetable Broth-Stock
  
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
