    Loves Food Loves to Eat's Notes: While I've been devouring risottos for awhile now, I just recently started making them...once I found out how easy it is to use a basic 'base recipe' and veer off in tons of different directions...

  4. Ladle in 1 cup simmering broth/juice and cook, stirring, until absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next. When half the liquid is remaining, add pineapple tidbits. Continue adding liquid and stirring 1/2 cup at a time until rice is tender and creamy-looking, 16 to 18 minutes.

  5. Reserve a handful of cilantro for garnish, and add the rest to the risotto and stir in right before removing from heat.

  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve. I served with grilled garlic-lime shrimp and a dollup of sour cream!

Whoops, I was so excited to add my risotto to the contest that I didn't even read the 'No Risottos' disclaimer at the top! =)
