Easy Risotto Made With Smoked Salmon

This easy risotto is a creamy traditional Italian rice recipe that uses a starchy rice variety such as Arborio to produce the sticky characteristic texture. In this healthy variation, olive oil has been used instead of butter to coat the grains of rice, and the traditional grated parmigiano cheese has been omitted. Properly cooked risotto should be al-dente and have some bite to the grain, and can be made using a range of vegetables, meat, seafood and legumes.

This easy risotto recipe is suitable for people following the weight watchers program, as points values have been calculated. It can be used as weight watchers recipe.
