How to Make Avocado And Walnut Risotto
- Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes until the grains are lightly toasted.
- Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it absorb completely.

- Remove from heat and stir in the toasted walnuts and fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Avocado & Walnut Risotto!
