Blaubeer Nektarinen Risotto mit Thymian
 
 Ever since I made this nectarine and grape panzanella  I am obsessed with nectarines in hearty dishes! They add so much summer flair to everything and I can’t get enough of them! Given that we simply love risotto it was just a matter of time before I sneaked some nectarines into this classic dish as well! The idea was to create a risotto using both fresh fruit and herbs! Something colourful that looks and tastes like summer! I find thyme to be the perfect herb as it goes with both fruits and adds a certain heartiness to the risotto.
 
 
 This summery risotto turned out incredibly creamy and slightly sweet with the fresh flavors of thyme, fresh chunks of nectarines and whole blueberries! This recipe a real all time favorite in our family .It is so good you can enjoy this as meal by itself but it also makes a nice side dish for roast chicken. No matter how you serve it, you will want to make this risotto again and again.
