This risotto has a really unique combination of flavours. The sweetness of the pears complements the savoury notes of the risotto, resulting in a dish that is comforting and sophisticated. The creaminess of the risotto is achieved through the slow, gradual addition of broth and constant stirring, which takes some time, but is well worth the effort!

Amazing, cooked in instant pot.

This was surprisingly good. I used Jasmine rice and it worked well. I did find that if halving the recipe, in a large pot, halving the water doesn't cook the rice fully. So I had to keep adding half cup water until the rice was cooked to my liking. I checked every time the water was absorbed. 🍐

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the scaling, Nicole, so glad you enjoyed the recipe! :D

Absolutely delicious! I added some green asparagus for a pop of colour

We had a little problem with this recipe. My eldest is mildly allergic to a pesticide on apples. I made this thinking I had used organic pears just in case pears use that same pesticide. Well, they weren't organic and they gave my child a mild scratchy throat. The problem was, my eldest loved this recipe too much and would not stop eating it. I had to make them their favorite food to get it away from them. 10/10 will make this again but with more care when selecting the pears.

Aww thanks so much for taking the time for sharing your experience with the recipe, Katie! We're glad it was enjoyed, though hopefully the pears won't cause any reactions next time 🥰

I was looking for something different, and this was it! Delicious! It even got my very skeptical partner's ("Are you putting fruit in the rice??") seal of approval 🙂

Aw we're so thrilled to hear that the pear risotto was enjoyed, Athina, even by your partner!

Very interesting combo of flavours✨

I caramelized the pears with a bit of sugar and we added white wine and pepper :)
It was really nice, would cook it again (soon)

I was a little skeptical because I'm not usually someone that mixes savoury food with sweet foods but this was absolutely delicious!

Once again. I was curious about combining sweet pear and risotto. But the result is amazing . I loved it !

Really simple and comforting. A unique combination


Sarah H. - Dec. 16, 2023, 6:47 p.m.

I absolutely love this dish. It's so easy and tasty. Pear is perfect with it ❤️


Elise M. - Dec. 12, 2023, 4:11 p.m.

Delicious, very nourishing . The sweet taste of the pear is a very nice combination. I personally do everything with no vegan products (so actual parmeggiano) and it is so tasty 😋

Absolutely lovely. This is just what I needed for a cold winter day!


Swati Vetri Kumar - Nov. 22, 2023, 4:28 p.m.
