Don't get this twisted! This isn't a rice pudding, and it's not made to be a dessert. It's a savory entree or a side dish. With the strawberry wine and thyme, It's hard to argue otherwise. It's sweet, creamy, and really delicious. Honestly, one of my favorite risottos to date! Hope you enjoy :)

The risotto was too thick. I would recommend adding more liquid, or cooking it for a few minutes less.

The risotto was too runny. I would recommend cooking it for a few minutes longer, or adding less liquid.

The risotto was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper, or using a more flavorful cheese.

I found that the risotto was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less strawberries or adding a bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or white wine.

I love how this recipe uses seasonal ingredients. The strawberries are at their peak right now, and they really shine in this dish.

This risotto was a delightful surprise! The combination of sweet strawberries and savory cheese was unexpected but worked perfectly together. The risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the strawberries added a nice pop of color and freshness.
