Nutritional values

There is a lot of potassium in rice. That is why the round grains have a draining effect. In addition, the creamy risotto contains two and a half times the daily requirement of vitamin B12 and well over half the daily requirement of niacin and biotin. Vitamin B12 is beneficial for blood formation, while niacin and biotin make the skin beautiful.

The secret of a creamy risotto: the liquid must be added hot and bit by bit to the rice. And then you stir, stir, stir... If you can't get fresh calamari, take squid rings from the freezer.
