I’m so excited about making this soon. I scored a huge bag of nettles at the market on the weekend and I just love them so much I’m always trying to come up with new ways to use them. I’ve made a similar risotto with pureed spinach before and I love the combination of the greens with the creamy rice, but I never thought about using nettles! They do indeed taste of spring. So far my favourite is a ricotta nettles ravioli, but this looks like a contender for a regular dish!

[...] what did I make with the nettles? I modified The Cookbook Chronicles‘ Stinging Nettle Risotto a bit based on Jameson’s recommendation; he prepares risotto [...]

Hi Lorna! I’ve tried the very same nettle risotto from Locatelli book, and loved it! We’re still under snow here in Estonia, but once the snow melts and nettles appear, I’ll be making this again!

I have heard of stinging nettle and it says they’re good for the liver but I haven’t really taste them and couldn’t find them. It would be great to try this recipe.

Yum, I think the first time I’d had stinging nettles was at the Herbfarm years ago. I love how pesky garden greens can be transformed into delicious treats. We cooked up some young shoots from a hops plant a few weeks ago – tasted just like asparagus!

hmm, nettles are pretty unfamiliar to me too, but this looks gorgeous

I’ve been seeing stinging nettle EVERYWHERE and have yet to try it! Thanks for the recipe!
