Grilled pears and baked radicchio served with a side of a creamy goats cheese risotto, it’s pure perfection! I love the combination of creamy risotto with sweet pear and bitter radicchio, it’s completely and insanely delicious comfort food. I highly recommend you make this risotto, it’s a winner of a meal:)
