"I love how simple this recipe—and risotto in general—is. There are almost no vegetables that can't be used for a basic recipe. For this variant with radicchio, I sometimes fry an additional clove of diced garlic or some fennel or celery, also finely chopped, along with the onions. I always use whatever wine I have open, which might also be a white wine or rosé. If radicchio is too bitter for you, drizzle some extra lemon or try a little bit of honey at the end—but much of its stronger notes are calmed during cooking."
