Pinhão risotto is a creamy Italian dish made with arborio rice, which is known for its high starch content that creates a rich texture. The dish incorporates pinhão, the edible seeds of the Brazilian pine tree, which add a unique nutty flavor and a chewy texture. To prepare pinhão risotto, the rice is sautéed with onions and garlic, then gradually cooked with broth while being stirred continuously. The pinhão is typically added towards the end of cooking, allowing it to blend with the creamy rice. This dish is often garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs for added flavor.
