Garlic is not often used in flavoring risotto; onion is usually used as a base flavor. In this recipe, however, the flavor of garlic is pronounced, and I love it. It is simple - and delicious, especially if you add some shrimp (or scallops or clams) in the last 5 minutes of cooking. You can also add a vegetable, such as broccoli or peas. Once you have mastered the basic recipe the variations are endless! And I also answer all your questions on the best way to choose, use and store fresh garlic!
