I cannot rightfully call what I made Dijon Risotto Primavera. Even though I bough Grey Poupon awhile ago, it was nowhere to be found, so I had to make some adjustments to this recipe to enhance the flavor. I have never made risotto before, so I think I did an OK job for my first time. This recipe is a good base, next time I’ll make sure that I have Dijon on hand so that I more accurately rate it.To make this recipe vegetarian, I used 1 box of Trader Joe’s Organic Hearty Vegetable Broth instead of chicken broth. As noted above, we didn’t have Dijon Mustard, so after cooking the rice, I added about 1.5 T of French’s Yellow Mustard, about 1 T of cracked black pepper, and a dash of salt and…Mrs. Dash (I have never used it before, but my husband suggested it). Overall, it worked, but I would definitely like to taste it with theDijon. I thought that making risotto would be difficult because of the time needed to make it work, but this recipe was pretty easy to work with. Although I was standing by the stove a lot, I had the opportunity to do other things in the kitchen and didn’t have to constantly stir it. Give it a try…you might just like it!
