Warm, creamy and packed with immune-supporting ingredients like bone broth, turmeric, garlic and ginger—this gluten-free risotto is the perfect winter wellness meal. This dish isn’t just comfort food—it’s functional food. The combination of bone broth, anti-inflammatory spices, and leafy greens supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and helps your body fight off bugs naturally.

Why We Love This Risotto:

  • Naturally gluten-free
  • Loaded with immune-supportive ingredients
  • Comforting and deliciously creamy
  • Perfect for cold nights or when you’re feeling run down

Immune-supporting ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tsp turmeric (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¾ cup Arborio rice (or cauliflower rice for grain-free)
  • 3–3½ cups warm chicken bone broth
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 small zucchini, grated
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 1 cup baby spinach or kale, chopped
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp nutritional yeast or grated Parmesan
  • Garnish: fresh parsley or coriander

Method:

  1. In a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric and pepper for 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add the rice and stir to coat. Toast for 1–2 minutes. Don’t worry if the spices stick to the pan a little, they will loosen up in the next step.
  3. Begin ladling in warm bone broth, stirring slowly and allowing each ladle to absorb before adding the next.
  4. Halfway through (about 10 minutes), stir in zucchini, carrot and chicken.
  5. Continue adding broth until rice is tender and creamy (20–25 minutes).
  6. Stir in spinach, lemon juice, and season to taste.
  7. Optional: Mix in nutritional yeast or cheese for added depth.
  8. Let sit for 2 minutes off heat, then serve garnished with herbs.
