Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup vibrant red bell peppers, finely chopped
- ½ cup purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup white wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Food coloring gels (red, purple, yellow)
Instructions
- Warm the broth in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Keep warm on low heat. Prepare vegetables by finely chopping the red bell peppers, shredding the purple cabbage, dicing the onion, and mincing garlic.
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Arborio rice to the aromatics, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Pour in white wine (if using), stirring until mostly absorbed.
- Begin adding the warm broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring continuously. Incorporate the red bell peppers and purple cabbage halfway through for colorful swirling effects.
- Divide the broth into three small bowls. Mix a few drops of food coloring gel into each bowl—red, purple, yellow.
- Gradually add the colored broth to the rice, swirling gently to create the mesmerizing warp effect inspired by Wanda’s powers. Continue adding broth and stirring until rice is tender and creamy.
- Remove from heat, stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Spoon into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot for full flavor and visual impact.
Notes
- Stir continuously for a perfectly creamy risotto.
- Use high-quality food coloring gels for vibrant, durable colors that won’t affect taste.
- Feel free to customize with different colorful vegetables or additional swirling gels for a more dramatic visual effect.
