This wild garlic risotto will wow your guests. This recipe can be made using the Thermomix and can be served as a main course, side dish or starter.<\/p>\n

Of course, the whole thing also works without a Thermomix on the stovetop. Both versions are included in the recipe card. A wonderful spring-like risotto recipe that is full of fresh aromas thanks to fresh wild garlic, parmesan, and lemon zest.<\/p>\n

It is naturally gluten-free and becomes a delicious, vegetarian spring dish if you use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.<\/p>\n

Use vegan butter instead of butter and add nutritional yeast instead of parm and or skip the parmesan cheese altogether to make this vegan.<\/p>\n

This creamy wild garlic risotto is pure spring for me. I’ve been looking forward to fresh seasonal spring ingredients such as asparagus, rhubarb, and especially wild garlic for so long.<\/p>\n

Normally I like to make Wild Garlic Gnocchi<\/a>,  German wild garlic spaetzle<\/a> or wild garlic bread.<\/a> And let’s not forget about vegan wild garlic pesto. YUM! But today I felt like a risotto.<\/p>\n

And it was so delicious that I really wanted to share the recipe with you. Wild garlic gives the risotto a spicy and herbal aroma. The perfect meal for the first days of spring!<\/p>\n

If you want, you can add some asparagus and some goat cheese.<\/p>\n

What to serve with Wild Garlic Risotto <\/h2>\n

The hearty risotto pairs well with grilled salmon or chicken. Vegetarians can enjoy a delicious salad or a slice of crusty homemade bread.<\/p>\n

To keep this vegetarian you should use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth in the recipe. If you want to stretch the risotto a bit, you can use blanched green asparagus.<\/p>\n

Talking about Asparagus risotto – I definitely recommend my risotto with green asparagus<\/a> and shrimp.<\/p>\n

How to Make Wild Garlic Risotto on the stovetop <\/h2>\n

Preparation without Thermomix<\/p>\n

Peel the onion, dice finely, and saut\u00e9 in oil and butter (2 tablespoons each). Add the risotto rice and saut\u00e9 until translucent. Deglaze with white wine and let it reduce down. Salt lightly.<\/p>\n

Gradually add broth, stirring constantly and gently, and cook until rice is cooked, 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n

If you want to add asparagus, you can add it 3 minutes before the end of cooking. I like to cut it into 5mm thin slices. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Finally, stir in the grated Parmesan, if using, the optional goat’s cheese, butter, lemon zest and the finely chopped wild garlic.<\/p>\n

Let stand a little longer and then serve in deep plates.<\/p>\n

Can I make this Vegan? <\/h2>\n

Yes! Just use vegetable broth and use vegan butter instead of butter. Skip the parm or add in some nutritional yeast instead. As we don’t add butter or parm, we need to be a bit more vigilant when stirring.<\/p>\n

Vegan risottos heavily rely on the starches released by the rice for creaminess. So with vegan risottos, it’s especially important to stir at last once a minute and to add the broth bit by bit. <\/p>\n
