This Romano risotto with radishes offers a sophisticated twist on a classic Italian comfort dish. By pairing the deep, savoury saltiness of aged Pecorino Romano with the peppery crunch of fresh radishes, this recipe creates a wonderful contrast of textures and temperatures. The rice is slowly simmered until perfectly creamy, providing a rich base for the bright, zesty radish topping. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-protein vegetarian-style meal that feels both indulgent and remarkably fresh.
Perfect as a main course for a weekend dinner or an impressive starter for guests, this dish celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients. The addition of white-wine vinegar and fresh chives to the radish garnish cuts through the richness of the butter and cheese, balancing the plate beautifully. Serve it immediately in warmed bowls with an extra drizzle of cold-pressed olive oil to highlight the delicate flavours of the garden-fresh vegetables.

How to make Romano Risotto with Radishes
Back to contentsBring broth and water to a simmer in a 3-to 4-quart saucepan. Meanwhile, heat 45ml butter in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed, about 1 minute.
Stir 240ml simmering broth into rice and cook, stirring constantly and keeping at a strong simmer, until absorbed. Continue cooking and adding broth, about 240ml at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is just tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, 18 to 22 minutes. Thin with some of remaining broth if necessary (you will have some left over). Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and remaining 45ml butter.
Whisk together vinegar, oil, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper. Toss radishes with dressing and chives. Serve risotto topped with radishes.
