chicken giblet risotto base
(1 RATING)
A favorite and it is served in Northern Ontario at our Italian Club weddings following the salad. Cleaning giblets is not pleasant, however, even our children make it today, it is so special. Non Italians often call it 'thick rice soup'. One can use mushrooms, in place of Giblets, but the homemade broth makes a finer Risotto. Italian Club uses Chicken and beef shank for their Risotto broth.
